I have not read all of your link Ivan but it really sticks in my throat when politicians describe homes for people as "social housing" no wonder homese for people is not important, it's all buried under several layers of jargon. |

amenity, some of the jargon words used these days can and do make people feel isolated, set apart, divided, from the rest of society.
As you know, where i live we have "problems" but to listen to people who are residents in the pier ward area of clacton, we still get."oh, you lot in brooklands" it never ceases to amaze me what peoples attitutes are, i even have it in my family who live in St. James ward.... I do my best to bridge the barriers, but sometimes i just let it go over my head matey, but its hard, very hard.. |

What Is Local Housing Allowance? From April 2008 the Government are introducing a National Scheme called Local Housing Allowance (LHA). Local Housing Allowance is a new way of working out Housing Benefit (HB) for private tenants. 'One of the aims of this scheme is to try to ensure that tenants, living within the same area, have their Housing Benefit assessment based on the same level of rent as another tenant with similar circumstances.' 'In most cases under the Local Housing Allowance scheme Housing Benefit payments will be made- direct- to- the -tenant- and -direct- into- a- bank- or- building society account' If you would like more information on Local Housing Allowance or would like a form to have your Housing Benefit paid directly into your bank or building society account, please contact us at the address or on the telephone number below. 88-90 Pier Avenue Clacton on sea Essex CO15 1TN or by telephone: 01255 686811 fax: 01255 686402 email to: benefits@tendringdc.gov.uk You can get further information on Local Housing Allowance from the Housing Benefit Service at the council.
