UPDATE: Stephen Cowan has responded to your comments below:
In this video, the Tory Leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council Stephen Greenhalgh – who David Cameron recently appointed head of the Conservative Party Local Government Innovation Unit – is forced to admit that his Administration is in secret talks to knock down residents’ homes after a barrage of questions from the people affected.
Stephen Cowan, the Labour leader in Conservative run Hammersmith and Fulham, said the council “hopes to follow in the footsteps of Westminster and repatriate people on average and low incomes out of their borough – possibly to the Thames Gateway”.
On LabourHome, Labour’s Housing Minister John Healey said “the Conservatives don’t see housing as a vital public service, and they don’t believe that people on low incomes can have decent, secure homes. Social housing is not safe in their hands. Eight million people – four million families – can’t trust the Tories with their home.”
