Woodcross Housing Office

Lib Dems oppose housing office closure plans

Springvale Councillors were joined by the areas three Tenants and Residents Associations and the local Labour Party to opposes the closure or Woodcross Housing Office. A vote of no confidence in Wolverhampton Homes has already been passed at the South East Housing Consultation Committee and Cllr Whitehouse is moving a similar motion at the Full Council Meeting on February 7th. Cllr Mike Heap said, "This plan must be resisted at all costs because many people only trust paying their council rent and/or council tax across a counter to receive a receipt. To make residents, especially the elderly and infirm, to travel either into Wolverhampton or Bilston to do so, is simply unfair." Cllr Richard Whitehouse added, "Wolverhampton Homes intend to open a new office, at great expense using funds saved from closing branch offices. They should be forced to remain in the Civic Centre and keep the branch offices open."
