Arm’s-length management organisations (ALMOs) have applied for a judicial review of the Government’s decision to defer £150m for refurbishments until 2011 / 2012.
Councils whose ALMOs were in the sixth round of funding bids have announced they are seeking legal action, arguing that withdrawing funding at such short notice and with almost immediate effect ‘significantly damages their ability to plan and deliver services which affect tens of thousands of tenants across the country.’
