We have been made aware recently that the Accent Housing group is seeking to transfer a number of its properties in Blackhall and Horden to an alternative housing provider.
Details are rather sketchy at the moment but later this week we will talk to the Head of Housing at Durham County Council to try to identify which options may be available to Accent and, more importantly, what the implications may be for residents and the wider community.
Along with the parish clerk we then intend to seek a meeting with officers from Accent and other interested parties to discuss with them the issues around any potential ownership changes to their housing stock.
We will update on progress in due course but in the meantime please get in touch if you have any particular concerns about this matter.
