PRN COMMENTS DECISION1 YES I WOULD LIKE IT THE COUNCIL TO TRANSFER THE

OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES AS THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE COUNCIL

YES

2 I WILL BE VOTING FOR THE COUNCIL BECAUSE IT IS MUCH SAFER FOR TENANTS IN THE LONG TERM. I DON’T TRUST PRIVATE COMPANIES LIKE SALIX HOMES IT WILL NOT BE OUR HOMES NO MORE IN PRIVATE HANDS AND RENTS WILL GO UP SOON AFTER

NO

3 I THINK TRANSFER HOMES TO SALIX HOMES IS THE GOOD OPTION. THE SALIX HOMES WILL GET MONEY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITIES HOPE SALIX HOMES WILL PROVIDE MORE FACILITES TO THE TENANTS

YES

4 I'M VOTING YES IF IT MEANS BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS, DUE TO A LARGE INJECTION OF MONEY

YES

5 I DON’T BELIEVE THE INFLUX OF MONEY DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR SALFORD TENANTS CAN COME ANY OTHER WAY. WE HAVE NO OPTION IN THIS THE REAL WORLD, BUT OT VOTE YES TO THE TAKEOVER.

YES

6 I THINK YES YES7 A NEW BROOM SWEEPS THE CLEANEST !! AS IT IS SAID YES8 I HAVE LIVED IN MY HOME SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN

OCTOBER 1978. I SUCEEDED THE TENANCY UPON MY GRANDMOTHERS DEATH AUGUST 2005. I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL LOSE RIGHTS GOING FROM A SECURE TENANCY TO AN ASSURED TENANCY ALSO THAT PRESSURE WILL BE PUT ON ME TO LEAVE MY 2 BED HOME. (I PAY FULL RENT)

NS

9 IT’S GOOD FOR SALIX HOMES TAKE OVER FROM THE CITY COUNCIL PUT MONEY BACK IN OUR HOMES WE NEED THINGS SO MY VOTE IS YES.

YES

10 No comments made NS11 ON THE 26TH JULY 2014 BEEN IN THIS HOUSE FOR

40YEARS, FIRST ON THE BLOCK, SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES. BEFORE THEY DONE IMPROVEMENTS IT WAS HELL BURNT OUT CARS NEARLY EVERY NIGHT BURGALRIES. FOR THE 10 YEARS OR MORE ITS BEEN HEAVEN THANKS VERY MUCH SALIX

NS

12 No comments made NS13 GOING WITH SALIX HOMES IS THE ONLY SENSITIVE

THING TO DO IF WE STAY WITH THE COUNCIL ARE RENTS WILL KEEP RISING BUT WE WILL END UP WITH NO MAINTENANCE. SALIX HOMES ALL THE WAY

YES

14 YES TRANSFER YES15 NO comments made NS16 HAVING READ ALL YOUR INFORMATION FROM SALIX I

THINK IT’S A GREAT THING TO TRANSFER HOMES TO SALIX HOMES AS I THINK WE WILL BENFIT FROM IT. I WILL VOTE YES FOR THE CHANGE

YES

17 WE DO NOT SEE REPS FROM SALIX NEVER OUR COUNCILLORS UNTIL VOTING TIME SO HOW DO WE GET OUR POINT ACROSS GOOD LUCK SALIX. AN EIGHTY FIVE

NS

2

YEAR OLD MOANER18 WHY DID WE NOT GET THE CHANCE TO GO TO

TOGETHER 2 YEARS AGO YOU WERE GOING TO KNOCK DOWN MULBERRY COURT AND THEN YOUR CHANGE YOUR MIND WHO

NS

19 SALIX HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN THE PAST SO I WOULD VOTE YES

YES

20 I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH MY WIFE W--- I WILL ALSO VOTE YES

YES

21 AS A MEMBER OF NEW BARRACKS THEN I WOULD LIKE AN ASSURANCE OF ONGOING SUPPORT.

NS

22 COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHEN THE BATHROOMS AND KITCHENS WILL BE COMPLETED ON MAGNOLIA COURT.

NS

23 NOT ONES IN THE BOOK IS EVERYONE WILL BE TREATED THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS NOT LIKE THAT AND THEY DON’T SO WHY SAY EVERYTHING BECAUSE NO ONE CARES ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY. AND NOT THE TENANTS WHY ASK US TO DO THE CARDS BECAUSE WE GET NO WEAR. I HAVE BIN WITH THE COOUNCIL FOR 50 YEARS AND SALIX HOMES AS NEVER TREATED ME LIKE THE OTHER TENANTS AT ALL

NS

24 AS A MEMBER OF NEW BARRACKS TMC I WOULD LIKE ASSURANCE OF ON GOING SUPPORT. ARE SALIX ASPIRING FOR A KITE MARK - AS THE NEW BARRACKS TMC HAVE BEEN AWARDED ONE

NS

25 WE ARE 100% IN FAVOUR OF THE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES TAKING PLACE. WE FIND SALIX PERSONNEL VERY POLITE AND HELPFUL WE WILL VOTE YES. MAY I ADD I HAVE BEEN WITH SALFORD COUNCIL FOR 26 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES OVER THE YEARS.

YES

26 I THINK SALIX HOMES IS GOOD. EVERY TIME I RING UP THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL. THEY ARE VERY DECENT PEOPLE AND I WOULD NOT CHANGE THEM FOR ANYTHING.

NS

27 I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE WAY SALIX HOMES CARRIED OUT THEIR SURVEY AT MY HOME. I HAVE ALREADY SAID THIS TO FORREST HOMES WHO ARE CARRYING OUT THE WORK AT FLORA DRIVE. MANY OF THE TENANTS FEEL THE SAME WAY AS I DO

NS

28 MY NEIGHBOURS AND MY SELF HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT A NEW BENCH FOR US TO SIT ON FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS WE HAD TWO WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE AND NOW WE HAVE HALF OF ONE IF YOU WANT OUR VOTE HELP US. SPOKESPERSON FOR STONEY KNOLL

NS

29 OUR COUNCIL HOMES MUST STAY OWNED BY SALFORD COUNCIL THEY ARE NOT TO BE GIVEN AWAY TO A GROUP OR ORGANISATION IS IT TRUE THAT IF WE TRANSFER WE WILL BE CHARGED VAT ON OUR RENT? YOU DO NOT TELL PEOPLE THIS.

NO

30 WHY JUST SALIX HOMES? SURELY OTHER PROVIDERS SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED IN THE VOTE? TENANTS CAN THEN DECIDE ON WHO SHOULD BE THEIR PROPERTY MANAGERS.

NS

31 THE RISING ON RENT AND NO PAY RISE IN MY JOB. ALSO WHEN WE GOT NEW KITCHENS DOORS ETC I NEVER GOT A NEW BATHROOM AS PROMISED. WHEN I WAS WAITING I PULLED UP MY LINO REALLY AM IN NEED OF NEW

NS

3

BATHROOM32 I AGREE WITH THE PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER THE

OWNERSHIP OF MY HOME TO SALIX HOMES AS LONG AS THE RENT AGREEMENT IS NOT AFFECTED. ALSO IF IT WILL ENSURE OR HELP MY HOME TO BE RENOVATED AND KEPT UP TO DATE. I AM HAPPY WITH THIS TRANSFER

YES

33 I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THINGS WITH NORTHLANDS HOUSING WITH ALL THE PROMISES AND LET US DOWN IN A BIG WAY. THEY WASTED THE GOVERNMENT MONEY THEY GOT TO IMPROVE OUR HOMES, MY CONSENT ABOUT SALIX HOMES TAKING OVER. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ABOUT YOUR SERVICES. SPECIALLY YOUR OPERATOR ON THE PHONE THE WAY THEY SPEAK TO CUSTOMIZE SOMETIMES DISCUSS SCHEDULE. WE WERE PROMISED CYCLING BANGS TWO YEARS AGO AND WE ARE STILL WAITING. ALSO I EMAIL US ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FLATS AND GOT NO REPLY. I WAS ALSO PROMISED SOMEONE TO COME AND SEE MY CONCERNED. WE HAVE COMMUNITY GARDEN AND WE CAN NOT REALLY GET ACCESS TO IT.

NS

34 MY PARTNER J--- A---- IS AWAY IN JAIL AT THE TIME. WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS ON VISITS PHONE AND SUCH AND ANY INVESTMENT OR HELP IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WOULD BE WELCOME AND IF SALIX HOMES DO ALL THAT THEY SAY THEY WILL SHOULD BE VERY BENFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY SO WE WILL VOTE YES!!

YES

35 IN RESPECT OF THE CHANGE OVER FROM COUNCIL TO SALIX MY MAIN CONCERNS ARE: 1) THAT RENTS WILL RISE 2) THAT YOU DO NOT STICK TO THE ASSURED TENANCY AGREEMENT. I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED NO'S. 12 AND 13 FOR DOGS OFF THE LEAD AND FOULING. ALSO NO. 3 ABOVE ME FOR PUTTING LAMINATE FLOORING DOWN ALL DAY TODAY FRIDAY 8TH AUGUST THEY ARE DRAGGING FURNITURE ABOUT AND CLEANING ON A HARD FLOOR. IN YOUR TEANCY IT SAYS THAT THEY MUST COVER IT TO REDUCE NOISE.

NS

36 IN MY STREET THERE IS DRUG DEALING, ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, BURGLARS, LOTS OF GANG GROUPS WHO SELL DRUGS ON THE STREET. MOTOR BIKES GOING UP AND DOWN THE STREET AND ALL THIS IS EVERY DAY. THE CAMERAS ARE THERE BUT THE PICTURES ARE NO GOOD AND WE ARE FED UP BECAUSE NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SO YOU TELL ME WHY YOU HAVE LET THIS AREA GET SO BAD AND THE GANGS GET AWAY WITH IT. I DO NOT SEE THE POINT IN DOING ALL THE NEW BUILDS UNTIL YOU HAVE SORTED THE AREA OUT, AND STOP ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR. TO MAKE A NICE COMMUNITY IS TO HAVE LOVELY HOMES AND LOVELY PEOPLE. IT ONLY TAKES ONE HOUSE TO BRING A STREET DOWN AND IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU WANT PEOPLE TO JOIN NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEMES BUT WE ARE ALL TO SCARED TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU GET THE GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE TRANSFER WHAT WILL YOU DO TO SORT THE COMMUNITYS OUT AND MAKE IT A NICER PLACE TO LIVE AND FOR USE AS TENANTS.

NS

37 MS S---- HAS EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS WITH SALIX. WHEN SHE HAS NEEDED ANYTHING SHE HAS NOT HAD TO WAIT AND HAS NEVER BEEN MESSED ABOUT. SHE

NS

4

PERSONALLY HAS EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS. SHE HAS NO VIEWS OR CONCERNS TO EXPRESS RE PROPOSED TRANSFER TO SALIX. SALIX WERE VERY GOOD WHEN SHE HAD DECENT HOMES WORK COMPLETED A FEW YEARS AGO (DESPITE A FEW PROBLEMS) THEY TRIED TO DO IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE , THEY KEPT HER INFORMED AND SHOWED HER EVERYTHING. SHE CAN'T FAULT SALIX - THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD WITH HER. SHE IS QUITE HAPPY. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OFFER DOCUMENT THAT SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. SALIX WERE VERY GOOD WHEN THEY FOUND ASBESTOS IN HER HOME, NOTIFYING HER STRAIGHT AWAY. (NOTE: THIS WAS COMPLETED OVER THE PHONE BY JC. TENANT HAS ONLY READ HALF OF THE OD YET AND WAS ENCOURAGED TO CALL BACK WHEN SHE HAD READ FULL OD IF THERE WERE ANY QUERIES SHE HAD)

38 THE AREA NEED BINS NEAR NINE ACRE COURT, PEOPLE DUMP RUBBISH NEAR PARK

NS

39 I AM NOT SUPPORTING THE PROPOSAL BECAUSE SALIX HOMES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MANAGE THE PROPERTIES AND THEY HAVE FAILED GOOD SERVICES TO THE TENANTS. THE COUNCIL SHOULD TRANSFER TO OTHER WELL MANAGED HOUSING ASSOCIATION TO BENEFIT THE TENANTS AND SALFORD AS WELL.

NO

40 DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING OUR HOME IMPROVEMENTS WAS NOT COMPLETED ON DEVINE CLOSE? IF SALIX HOMES GET THE YES VOTE WILL OUR HOMES BE COMPLETED AS PROMISED? IF THE LOANS OFF THE BANKS SALIX ARE GETTING AND THE BANKS INCREASE THEIR CHARGES WILL ARE RENTS INCREASE TO PAY FOR INCREASED CHARGES.

NS

41 I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS A GOOD IDEA BUT HAVING READ IN THE PAPER WE HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN THE TRUE FACTS AND IT HAS BEEN ALL ONE SIDED AND IT HAS MADE ME HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS. I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PAPER REPORT.

NS

42 No comments NS43 I DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM VOTING YET SALIX PROMISED

ME NEW RADIATORS WHEN THEY DONE THE ALTERATIONS TO THE HOUSE STILL WAIT

NS

44 I PREFER FAMILIARITY. SWINTON PROERTIES HAVE SURVIVED WELL ENOUGH UNDER THE COUNCIL FOR MANY YEARS. LESS FUNDING FOR THE COUNCIL FROM NEXT YEAR ISNT NECESSARILY A GREAT PROBLEM. MOST PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN IMPROVED/UPDATED RECENTLY, AND SHOULD DO FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. ALSO, i QUOTE FROM THE OFFER DOCUMENT.... SALIX WILL BORROW MONEY FROM LENDERS SUCH AS BANKS AND THIS WILL FUND INVESTMENT INTO THE PROPERTIES. SALIX WILL REPAY THE LOANS OVER 30 YEARS AND THE COST OF REPAYING IT WILL BE MET FROM RENTS. RENTS? AAH THERE'S THE CATCH! BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW! SAY NO TO SALIX! ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH SALIX OVER THE YEARS DUE TO OTHER REASONS.

NO

45 WE ONLY LIKE TO LIVE IN A GOOD PLACE CLOSE TO ALL NEEDS, SAFE ENVIRONMENT, CLEAN, WITHOUT DRUGS AROUND, AT RIGHT PRICE TOO. IF WE CAN KEEP OUR

NS

5

LIFE SAFE IN GOOD HANDS THIS WILL BE FINE FOR ALL OF US.

46 No comments NS47 NO VIEWS NS48 I AND MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN WITH SALFORD COUNCIL

FOR 50 YEARS ALWAYS PAID FULL RENT AND IM A WIDOW NOW 82 YRS OLD AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LIVING AS A COUNCIL TENANT, I THINK THERE SEEMS TO BE A SNAG, THE WAY YOUR ALL GOING ABOUT THIS, I PAY £93 A WEEK NOW - CAN YOU GUARANTEE THEY WONT BANG THE RENT UP RIGHT AWAY. MY SON P--- THINKS THE SAME.

NS

49 No comments NS50 I WILL BE VOTING NO. SALIX HOMES IN MY EXPERIENCE

CANNOT AFFECTIVELY DEAL WITH ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR. (ASB) I AM PRESENTLY EXPERIENCING ASB ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE NO FAITH WHATSOEVER IN SALIX HOMES. HOWEVER ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF SALIX HOMES ARE VERY GOOD. BUT ASB MATTERS MOST TO ME AND I VOTE NO.

NO

51 IS IT TRUE THAT IF I GET A JOB AND EARN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WILL MOVE US BECAUSE ARE PROPERTIES ARE FOR POOR PEOPLE ONLY? ALSO WILL ARE TENANCY STAY EXACTLY THE SAME AND WILL NOT CHANGE IN A YEAR TIME? AND WHY CAN'T WE BE SECURE TENANTS FROM THE BEGINNING WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE AN ASSURED TENANT?

NS

52 THE TRANSFER WILL NOT ONLY BENEFIT THE TENANTS BUT ALL THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. ALSO ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ALREADY DIFFICULT FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THEM BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE OR OTHER SERVICES WOULD SUFFER.

YES

53 I WANT TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL IF THESE FLATS ARE GIVEN TO SALIX I WANT A MOVE TO A COUNCIL PROPERTY AS SALIX ARE A WASTE OF TIME!

NO

54 THEY SAY RENTS ONLY GO UP BY GOVERNMENT POLICY. BUT THEY DON’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SERVICE CHARGE AND HOW THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE IT SECURITY AND CLEANING SERVICES BECAUSE SOME ARE NOT COVERED IN BENEFITS. THERES NO LIMIT THEY CAN CHARGE

NS

55 THIS IS GREAT PROPOSAL I AM VOTING YES TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES

YES

56 YES I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR SALIX HOMES TO BE THE OUTRIGHT OWNER.

YES

57 THERE IS NO COMMENTS ABOUT TRANSFER FOR SALFORD CITY COUNCIL TO SALIX HOMES WE HOPE THIS SECOND STEP HE MUS BE PROPER TREATMENT AGAINST NEW HOMES TO SALIX HOMES FOR REPAIR AND BE BETTER ORGANISERS TO DO THE DUTY PROPERLY

NS

58 I WILL BE HAPPY TO BE TRANSFERRED TO SALIX HOMES AS THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD WITH REPAIRS AND EXCELLENT SERVICE.

YES

59 I THINK THE TRANSFER IS THE BEST OPTION, IF SALIX HOMES WILL KEEP TO THEIR PROMISE. THANK YOU.

YES

60 I AM IN FAVOUR OF SALIX HOMES AS THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD IN ALL WAYS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE. THE

YES

6

ANSWER IS YES.61 I HAVE NEVER HAD A REPAIR FINISHED OR DONE TO A

GOOD STANDARD YET. NS

62 SALIX HAVE BEEN THE OBVIOUS CHOICE ALL THE TIME YES63 AS A MAN ON THE RESIDENT COMMITTEE THIS EMPTY

FLATS AND HOUSES WOULD BE RELET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS SEVEN YEARS OLD RIDING MOTOR BIKES ACROSS A FIELD ON BROWNING ROAD THE CROFT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

NS

64 MY WIFE AND I ARE QUITE PLEASED WITH THE WORK SALIX HAVE DONE ALREADY. WE WILL BE VOTING FOR THEM.

YES

65 IF THIS IS THE SITUATION REGARDING SALFORD CITY COUNICL I WILL BE HAPPY TO VOTE FOR SALIX HOMES AND HOPE THEY KEEP TO ALLTHEY PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE WHICH WILL NOT BE EASY.

YES

66 DEAR SIR, AS LONG AS WE ARE CARED FOR IN THE FUTURE AS WE ARE NOW AND OUR HOME IS UPDATED WE ARE HAPPY TO VOTE YES FOR SALIX.

YES

67 YES TO SALIX HOMES IF YOU CONTINUE WITH CARE AS WELL AS IN THE PAST THE COUNCIL AND REFURBISHMENT IS QUICKER

YES

68 I HOPE AND BELIEVE THIS MOVE WILL BE GOOD FOR US TENANTS. IM HOPING THE HOUSES ON MARK AVENUE WILL FINALLY GET SOME KIND OF A FACE LIFT AND LOOK A LOT BETTER. I WILL BE VOTING YES TO THE MOVE. THANKYOU

YES

69 I AM VERY HAPPY TO THE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES70 I LIKE THE PROPOSITION AND I'LL VOTE TO SALIX HOMES.

THANK YOU FOR THE OFFER YOUA RE DOING. YES

71 I AM HAPPY WITH THIS TRANSFER YES72 VOTE NO. A YES VOTE IS A VOTE FOR RENT RISE. ONE

NO

73 A FEW ISSUES: SALIX DON’T TAKE THE TIME TO CONSIDER CERTAIN WORKS NEEDED TO BE DONE INTERNAL OF OUR HOMES. SO I AM FORCED TO SPEND OVER £1500 OF MY OWN MONEY WHERE NEEDED THE WORK THAT SALIX ARRANGE IN MY 10 YEARS 'NEVER INSPECT' THE WORK THAT WE CARRIED OUT IN OUR HOMES? THIS IS 'NOT' GOOD ENOUGH!! THE WORK THAT IS DONE BY THE CONTRACTORS IS NOT DONE TO GOOD STANDARD BECUASE SALIX DON'T 'EVER' INSPECT THE STANDARDS OF THERE CONTRACTERS. THE CONTRACTOERS INSPECTERS 'NEVER' INSPECT THE WORK CARRIED OUT SALIX ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH.

NO

74 MORE INFORMATION REQUIRED REGARDING THE £3.2 MILION FOR DISABLED. WHT TYPE OF ADAPTATIONS? IS MORE DISABLED TYPE PROPERTY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE?

NS

75 IT IS A GOOD IDEA IM SURE SALIX HOMES WILL BE MORE RESPONSIBLE TO OVER PROPERTIES AS I HAVE GOOD

YES

7

MEMORIES FROM SALIX HOMES CUSTOMER SERVIS. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK

76 I WISH TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL SO VOTE NO TO SALIX HOUSING

NO

77 I VOTED NO I WANT TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL NO78 TRANSFERRING OWENERSHIP OF HOMES TO SALIX

HOMES MEANS THAT SALFORD COUNSIL IS 'GETTING RID OF THEIR ASSETS' ONCE ALL YOUR 'ASSETS' (IN ANY FORM) ARE GONE, WHAT IS LEFT FOR THE CITY THAT THEN REQUIRES A COUNCIL TO MANAGE - WILL THE COUNCIL TEAMS, SALFORD PEOPLE ARE AREAS THEN BE DEFUNCT??? THIS IS UTTER MADNESS

NO

79 YOU ARE GIVING THE HOUSES TO SALIX HOMES WHY DON’T YOU GIVE THEM TO THE TENANTS. SHAME ON THE COUNCIL WHAT A RIP OFF

NO

80 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SAY WHEN IS CANON GREEN BLOCK BE UPDATED LIKE A LOT OF OTHER BLOCKS HAVE BEEN DONE IN PAST 5 YRS PLEASE

NS

81 THE PROPOSED TRANSFER FROM THE COUNCIL TO SALIX HOMES IS THE RIGHT MOVE AND I WILL VOTE YES.

YES

82 NO THANK YOU TO THE ABOVE. THANK YOU. UP TO NOW WE'RE SOMEWHAT UNHAPPY OVER THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS BUT I HAVE TO STATE THAT AM NEVER HAPPY! AT ALL OVER THE WAY YOU TAKE THINGS IN HAND IE IF YOU SHOULD NEED ANYTHING! PUTTING RIGHT AROUND THE HOUSE YOU THE XXX OF COMING OUT, TO THE HOUSE WHEN IVE CALLED OVER SOMETHINGTHAT NEEDS PUTTING RIGHTIN THE HOUSE AND YOU STILL GET NOTHING AT ALL OVER ALL THE DOG MESSTHAT IS AROUND DOGE XXX SEEN AROUND AS THEY LIKE AND THE SAYING OF 'DRUGS' IS ALL OVER ORDSALL BUT STILL YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS WHAT MORE CAN I SAY AT ALL NOTHING

NO

83 I THINK IT’S A BAD POLICY TO GIVE AWAY THE HOUSING STOCK TO SALIX HOMES WHAT CRAPOT THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA THE LOSS TO THE COUNCIL WILL BE FELT FOR YEARS TO COME. DISGUSTED.

NO

84 IF POSSIBLE BRING BACK CARE ON CALL FOR OLDER AND DISABLED PEOPLE IN SALFORD (CUT BY IAN STEWART) MAYOR

NS

85 VOTE NO. THE SERVICES AND STANDARDS ARE DISGRACEFUL FAILED TARGETS. PROMISES FAILED. INCREASED ASB. DISGUSTING CLEANING. POOR MAINTENANCE. FAILED COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE. IF THEY DID THE JOB WELL AND TO A GOOD STANDARD EVERYONE WOULD SUPPORT SALIX. THEY ARE INCOMPETENT!!

NO

86 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASSURED AND SECURE TENANTS?

NS

87 ALL THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN WITH SALIX HOMES I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM THEY HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER ME AS A TENANT SO MY VOTE WOULD HAVE TO BE FOR SALIX

YES

88 I THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES COULD I MAKE A VIEW ON THE HOUSING SOME OF BRICKS NEED TO BE POINTED. THANK YOU

YES

89 THE SERVICES SALIX HOMES PROVIDE ARE INVALUABLE IN MY OPINION I SUSPECT MAJORITY OF COUNCIL TENANTS WILL SHARE MY VIEWS THE PROPOSAL TO

YES

8

TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF 8500 HOMES BY THE COUNCIL TO SALIX HOMES WOULD BE GIVEN A MASSIVE 'YES'. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

90 I DO WONDER IF ALL WHAT SALIX CLAIMS TO BE DOING IS TRUE. I WAS TOLD REPLACEMENT KITCHEN/BATHROOM AND REWIRE. I GOT HALF A REWIRE WHICH LOOKS WORSE AND NO KITCHEN WHILST MY NEIGHBOURS ALL ENJOY THEIR NEW HOMES. ITS TOOK 3 MONTHS AND 6 VISITS TO FIX MY HOT WATER. ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THE TRANSFER I SIMPLY DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR CLAIMS OF ALL THIS PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT.

NO

91 I HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED WITH THE WAY SALIX HOMES HAVE ATTENDED TO DAMP PROBLEMS IN THE FLATS

NS

92 IT SEEMS OK AS IT IS SO WHY DO THE COUNCIL HAVE TO TRANSFER OWNERHSIP TO SALIX HOMES?

NO

93 IVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT SALIX HOMES WE ARE FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF SALIX HOMES AND I CANNOT RECALL ANY MAJOR ISSUES OR CONCERNS. DURING RECENT RENOVATIONS TO HOMES IN MY AREA I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THAT SALIX RESPECTED THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS. I HOPE THIS WILL BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR POLICY AS OWNERS.

YES

94 DEAR SIR AS A TENANT OF HOMES BELONGING TO SALIX HOMES TO BE OF A VERY HIGH STAND AND I CAN ONLY SAY THAT ALL MY DEADLINES WITH SALIX AS BEEN FIRST CLASS I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT AS ALWAYS THIS WILL CONTINUE.

NS

95 YOUR ARGUMENTS FOR A YES HAVE CONVINCED ME, THE CAMPAIGN SEEMS A LITTLE OVER THE TOP AND REPETITIVE. WHILE I WISH YOU WELL WITH YOUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT A CLEANER NEIGHBOURHOOD WILL MATERIALISE ANYTIME SOON.

YES

96 I GIVE MY VOTE TO SALIX HOMES AS THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND. I WAS IN HOSPITAL OVER 26 WEEKS THEY HELPED A SUPPORTED MY HUSBAND TO GET THE RIGHT HOME FOR ME TO COME HOME TO, AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

YES

97 I'M VERY HAPPY TO STAY WITH SALIX I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT SALIX WILL CARRY ON WITH EVERYTHING AS BEFORE? REPAIRS AND BE THERE IF I NEED TO TALK? ALSO BEING A VERY GOOD TENNAT I CAN LIVE IN MY HOME 'FLAT' UNTIL MY DYING DAY? THANK YOU. KIND REGARDS,

YES

98 I THINK ITS FAIR OF THE COUNCIL TO STEP ASIDE AND LET THE PROCEEDINGS PROGRESS AS ITS OBVIOUS WHICH WAY THE VOTE WILL GO. I XX INVESTMENT BETTER HOMES, XX WORDS FOR YES!

YES

99 No comments NS100 BEEN WITH SALIX HOMES TWICE NOW. ALWAYS BEEN

FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THEY WILL BE GETTING MY VOTE.

YES

101 I WILL NOT VOTE YES. I WILL VOTE NO. 1. THREATENING WITNESSES IN A COURT CASE. 2 REDOING WORK THAT I HAVE DONE. 3 WASTING MONEY ON COURT CASES THAT THEY HAVE THREATENING TONES WITH A XX ARE A BAG OF SHITE

NO

9

102 I AM IN FAVOUR OF SALIX HOMES TAKING OVER FROM SALFORD COUNCIL. MR P------ CANNOT VOTE AS DIES 3 YEARS AGO. COUNCIL WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS.

YES

103 I THINK THAT IT IS A GOOD IDEA THAT SALIX ARE TAKING OVER THE COUNCIL HOUSES IT WILL BE A LOT BETTER

YES

104 GOOD YES105 GOOD YES106 I AGREE TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES107 I AGREE OWNERSHIP TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES108 I AM VERY HAPPY TO STAY WITH COUNCILS. SO I VOTE

NO NO NO NO NO

109 I HAVE FOUND BY DEALING WITH SALIX HOMES TO BE VERY EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL. THEY HAVE BEEN MOST COURTEOUS AND POLITE AT ALL TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES I HAVE RECEIVED.

YES

110 IVE LIVED AT --- CANON GREEN COURT SINCE DECEMBER 18TH 1969 AND GETTING REPAIRS DONE WAS A NIGHTMARE UNTIL SALIX TOOK OVER NOW THEY'RE DONE SAME DAY OR THE NEXT DAY. THE ONLY THING IS ALL BLOCKS OF FLATS BEING ALTERED ARE MENTIONED BUT CANON GREEN. WHY?

NS

111 I HAVE LIVED IN CANON GREEN COURT 43YEARS AND SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES. SALIX HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD WITH REPAIRS AND ALSO WHEN WE PHONE FOR ADVICE. I HOPE THEY DO TAKE OVER THESE FLATS AS THEIR SERVICES ARE EXCELLENT.

YES

112 I HAVE READ THE LITERATURE SENT THROUGH AS LONG AS MY TENANCY AGREEMENT AND RENT ARE NOT AFFECTED THEN I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THE SALIX TAKEOVER

YES

113 IN MY OPINION THE HOMES SHOULDN’T BE TRANSFERRED FROM COUNCIL TO SALIX HOMES UNLESS SALIX HOMES DO DECREASE THE HOUSE RENT. BECAUSE THE RENT IS TOO HIGH.

NO

114 I FIND SALIX VERY EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL WHEN REPAIRS ARE REPORTED.

NS

115 I WOULD PREFER THE OWNERSHIP OF MY HOME TO SATY WITH SALIX HOMES. THEY KEEP MY HOME TO A HIGH STANDARD. ALWAYS VERY PLEASANT AND HELPFUL WITH ANY ENQUIRIES AND REPAIRS

YES

116 COUNCIL YES. STAY WITH THE COUNCIL NO117 I WILL VOTE YES. BECAUSE OUR BUILDING NEEDS

IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENT WITHIN OUR GENERAL AREAS. OUR BALCONIES ARE RUSTY AND THE PAINT IS FADING, THE MAIN CORRIDOR NEEDS CLEANING AND PAINT. OUR BATHROOM SET IS RUSTY AND IT LOOKS REALLY BAD, HOWEVER WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO MONEY TO REPLACE IT. THE WATER PRESSURE ALSO IS AN ISSUE TO OUR SHOWER CAN'T EVEN HAVE A PROPER AND DECENT SHOWER WITHOUT TO STOP FREQUENTLY. OUR BUILDING HUGE IMPROVEMENTS. THANK YOU.

YES

118 AS A TENANT OF CANON GREEN COURT I STRONGLY AGREE WITH THE TRANSFER. CANON GREEN COURT DOES HUGE FOR IMPROVMENTS IMMEDIATELY AND INVESTMENT. BALCONIES AND EXTERNAL AREAS RUSTY, EXTERNAL PAINITING REALLY FADED AND SHABBYY, MY

YES

10

BATHROOM TIOLET SET IS RUSTY AND UNPLEASANT COULD DO WITH A NEW SET CHEAP BUT FREE FROM RUST AND PLEASANT TO WASH MY FACE IN THE MORNING.

119 INVESTMENT IN SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS. GREATER SAY IN WHERE MONEY IS SPENT. GOOD REPAIR SERVICE. MORE SUPPORT FOR AGING TENATNS. NEW TENANCY AGREEMENTS WITH RIGHT TO BUY. IMPROVING HOMES TO STANDARD. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

NS

120 WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SALIX HOMES TAKING OVER OUR HOME. WE WILL GIVE YOU VOTE, WE HOPE YOU WILL EMPLOY ALL OUR LOCAL SALFORD PEOPLE.

YES

121 THIS AREA USED TO BE A FLAGSHIP AREA WHERE EVERYONE WANTED TO LIVE, NOW SALIX HOMES ARE PUTTING ANYONE IN THESE FLATS IE DRUNKEN DRUGGIES IN THEM. ITS SO SAD TO BE SUCH A LOVELY AREA GO DOWN. IF I VOTE SALIX ARE YOU AS A HOUSING ASSOCIATION GOING TO DO THIS BEFORE I VOTE.

NS

122 I HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH ALL MY DEALINGS WITH SALIX LEGAL AND REPAIRS OR ANYTHING THEY ARE ONLY TO HAPPY TO OBLIGE AND AS ANYTHING GOES THERE STAFF ARE ALWAYS WAITING AND WILLING TO OBLIGE

NS

123 I AM IN AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOOMES

YES

124 IN FAVOUR OF TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES. NO CONTACT.

YES

125 I HOPE THE PROPOSAL GOES THROUGH AS SALIX HOMES CAN IMPROVE ACCOMMODATION CONDITIONS WITH BETTER HOUSES/FLATS AS I KNOW SALIX HOMES HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION FOR CARE OF HOMES FAST EMERGENCY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND LOOKING AFTER TENNANTS OLD AND NEW, I BELIEVE SALIX HOMES DO THE BEST FOR TENNENTS AND ENVIROMENT.

YES

126 IM A RESIDENT WHOM LIVES ON LEICESTER WALK, AND HAS ALWAYS SUFFERED FROM NOISE NUISANCE FROM OTHER NEIGHBOURS SALIX HOMES HAS PUT IN SO IM UNDECIDED, IF SALIX HOMES CAN DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES WHEN REPORTED TO THEM THEN FINE. I HAVE MEDICAL ISSUES AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH NOISEY NEIGHBOURS AT MY AGE iM 53 YEARS OLD

NS

127 No comments NS128 IVE BEEN QUITE HAPPY WITH SALIX, SO IM FINE WITH

THEM TAKING OVER AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THERE STANDARDS. THANK YOU.

YES

129 I WANT SALIX TO TAKE OVER. I VOTE IN FAVOUR OF SALIX HOMES

YES

130 No comment NS131 JUST HOPE SERVICES ARE A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT

THEY ARE NOW. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF COMMUNICATION WHEN JOBS ARE BEING GIVEN OUT , CANCELATIONS, WRONG TIMES, WAITING IN AND NOT LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE JOB IS NOT BEING DONE ON THAT GIVEN DAY, OTHERWISE EVERYTHING IS FINE.

NS

132 FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A SAY ABOUT OUR HOME FUTURE FOR ME I PREFER THE HOME TOSTAY WITH THE COUNCIL BECAUSE THE RENT WILL GO UP IF IT IS TAKEN OVER BY A HOUSINMG ASSOCIATION

NO

11

133 I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT AND APPROVAL IN LIGHT OF THE PROPOSAL OF THE ARRANGEMENT TO TRANSFER THE TENACY OF OUR HOME TO SALIX HOMES FROM THE COUNCIL. I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA AND THAT I WILL BENEFIT FROM SALIX HOMES OWNING IT IN COMPARISON TO IF THE COUNCIL DOES. I WILL BE VOTING YES.

YES

134 I HAVE NOT YET DECIDED WHO TO VOTE FOR WE WERE PROMISED NEW RADIATORS WHEN THE HOUSE WAS MODERNISED AND NEW HEATING PUT IN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WORKMEN HAVE BEEN PAST WITH RADIATORS BUT WERENT RIGHT NEVER BEEN BACK.

NS

135 WE G---- AND D---- B------HAVE BEEN COUNCIL TENATS FOR THIRTY FOUR YEARS , AND WE HAVE FOUND SALIX TO BE THE BEST. NOT ONLY OVER REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS, BUT COMMUNICATIONS, ONE TO ONE HELP, AND OVER THE PHONE, PLUS SWIFT ACTION OVER INCIDENTS WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH. WE HOPE TO BE SALIX TENANTS IN THE FUTURE AND WE WISH YOU WELL IN THE VOTE.

YES

136 I THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE TO SALIX HOMES THE TENANTS WILL GET TREATED BETTER AND THERE WILL BE MORE DONE FOR THE TENANTS I AM ALL FOR CHANGING TO SALIX HOMES

YES

137 IM ALL IN FAVOUR TO VOTE YES FOR OWNERSHIP TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES

YES

138 I BELIEVE THAT SALIX HOMES OFFERS THE BEST DEAL AND WILL BE VOTING FOR THEM.

YES

139 I THINK THAT THE PROPOSAL FOR TRANSFER TO SALIX IS A NO BRAINER. IMPROVEMENTS TO HOUSING NEIGHBOURHOOD AND SUPPORTING TENATS AND HELPING OT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL IS A PRACTICAL AND COMMON SENSE APPROACH WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO IN MY OPINION. THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR THE PEOPLE.

YES

140 I THINK TRANSFER OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES IS A VERY GOOD THING BECAUSE MY BLOCK HAS BEEN DONE UP NEW WINDOWS NEW KITCHEN AND BATHROOM AND NEW FLOORS AND EXTRA SOCKETS NEW LIGHT FITTINGS. THE SERVICE YOU GOT WAS EXCELLENT PLUS ANY REPAIRS WHEN YOU PHONE THEY ANSWERED STRAIGHT AWAY AND THEY TOLD YOU WHEN THE JOB WOULD BE DONE VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE YOU GET.

YES

141 YES I WANT TO STAY WITH SALIX HOMES AS YOU HAVE HELPED ME IN ALL SITUATIONS AND VISITED ME AND I HAVE HEALTH ISSUES. THANK YOU.

YES

142 I AM HAPPY WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED LAST YEAR, AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY REPAIRS SEEN TO WHEN NEEDED AND THE STAFF HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY POLITE AND HELPFUL SO I WILL BE VOTING FOR SALIX TO KEEP THE COMPANY AS MY LANDLORD SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

YES

143 GOOD IDEA. YES144 YES FOR SALIX HOMES ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED WITH

THE WORK THEY HAVE DOEN. YES

145 I AGREE TO SALIX HOMES TAKING OVER IT WILL BE A GOOD THING HOPEFULLY AND MAYBE THINGS WILL GET BETTER BECAUSE SOME OF THE TENANTS IN THIS

YES

12

BLOCK MIGHT GET EVICTED OUT AND BETTER PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN THE BLOCK.

146 I SINCERELY THINK THAT THE BEST THINGS TO BE DONE FOR THE TENANTS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO SALIX HOMES AT LEAST WE WILL GET REPAIRS DONE INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BEING TOLD THERE IS NO MONEY WHY WOULD THERE BE ANY MONEY LEFT WHEN YOU GREEDY COUNCILLORS POCKET IT FOR OWN BENEFIT. THIS ONCE GREAT CITY IS A SHAMBLES BECUASE OF THE WAGES YOU PAY YOURSELF FOR SITTING ON YOUR LAZY FAT BUMS INSTEAD OF DOING AN HONEST DAYS WORK.

YES

147 SIR, I LIVE IN A BUNGALOW AND FOR OVER FOUR YEARS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE A DROPPED KERB OUTSIDE MY PROPERTY I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK AT DOING IT, THIS I UNDERSTAND DUE TO THE WAY THINGS ARE THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT IN THE FUTURE. THE PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ALL THIS TIME TOLD ME A FEW WEEKS AGO IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT DEALING WITH IT. I WAS ABSOLUTLEY SICKENED TO BE TOLD THAT AFTER ALL THE TIME I HAD SPENT IN WRITING AND PHONING TO HAVE IT DONE. I AM DISABLED SINCE IT FIRST APPLIED MY ILLNESS HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS BEING REALLY SERIOUS I HAVE WORKED ALL MY LIFE, NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING, SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES LIKE MY BROTHERS, AND THIS IS HOW I GET TREATED, I HAVE AN MP HELPING ME ALSO A COUNCILLOR EVEN THEY CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN TOLD AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE LOOKING AT MY CASE. EXCUSE HANDWRITING SEVERE ARTHRITIS.

NS

148 I WISH TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL SO VOTE NO TO SALIX HOUSING

NO

149 WELL, IT SOUNDS A FAVOURABLE PROPOSAL, BUT WETHER IT TURNS OUT TO BE IS SOMETHING THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN, BUT I SHALL BE VOTING IN FAVOUR OF IT

YES

150 I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD MOVE TO SALIX HOMES YES151 I THINK IT IS A GOOD DECISION FOR EVERYONE TO

CHOOSE FOR ALL WHO ARE PART OF SALIX HOMES. WE CAN LIVE BETTER WITH THESE PROPOSALS OR SUPPORT. I ALSO THINK IT’S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A GOOD JOB. TO END I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR HELPING ALL.

YES

152 HELLO I DON’T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSFER SALIX HOMES BUT IF BE BETTER MY VOTE IS YES BUT LET ME KNOW WHEN AND HOW WE CAN VOTE. THANK YOU .

YES

153 I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE WAY FORWARD FOR MOST COUNCILS. I AM GOING OT VOTE YES. BUT I AM CONCERNED WHERE THE FUNDING HAS COME FROM FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. A LOT OF MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT AND THE COUNCIL IS ALWAYS SAYING IT HAS NO FUNDS.

YES

154 I AM HAPPY WITH THE PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER THE COUNCIL HOMES TO BECOME SALIX HOMES. I AM GOING TO SAY YES TO THIS PROPOSAL BECAUSE I FEEL BETTER WITH SALIX HOMES

YES

155 WISH TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL NO156 NO TO TRANSFER NO

13

157 I CANNOT SEE ANY REASON FOR CHANGE. EVERYTHING IS QUITE SATISFACOTRY AS IT IS.

NO

158 IT IS OK NS159 I DISAGREE WITH THE PROPOSAL I THINK IT IS

UNACCEPTABLE I PERSONALLY WANT TO STAY WITH SALIX

NO

160 NO COMMENT?? DO NOT UNDERSTAND QUESTION SO THEREFORE I CANNOT GIVE YOU THE ANSWER.

NS

161 I THINK FAR TOO MUCH MONEY IS SPENT ON PROMOTING YOUR YES VOTE. I FEEL PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING GIVEN ALL THE FACTS.

NS

162 No comments NS163 VERY CLEAR AND THINK IT IS BEST FOR EVERYONE ALL

ROUND.YES

164 NO THINGS. NS165 SAME AS THE WIFE, IF THE SERVICES WERE BETTER,

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. YES

166 No comment NS167 YES - OK YES169 I VOTE YES TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES171 IT’S A GOOD IDEA FOR THE COUNCIL TO TRANSFER THE

OWNERSHIP OF HOMES TO SALIX HOMES. THE BEST OPTION IS SALIX AS THEY ARE GIVING THE BEST SERVICE, AND WILL HAVE THE MONEY TO MAINTAIN AND MODERNISE THE HOMES.

YES

172 I VOTE NO TO THE TRANSFER. WE PREFER THE OWNERSHIP OF OUR HOMES TO BE WITH THE COUNCIL.

NO

173 I AM CONCERNED ABOUT RENT INCREASES. ALL PPI SCHEMES ARE AN ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE AT THE EARLIEST STAGES BUT EVENTUALLY WILL COST MORE IN THE LONG RUN.

NS

174 WITH NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH TO SPEND ON IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS SALIX HOMES SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE OVER. AS LONG AS THE RENTS DON'T GO SKY HIGH AND REPAIRS ARE DONE QUICKLY. THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE TREE PROBLEMS AND PUT NO BALL GAMES SIGNS UP IN FRONT OF HOMES WHEN CHILDREN ARE PLAYING!

YES

175 I THINK THE TRANSFER IS A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CHANGES TO MY HOME IE THE WALLS IN BEDROOM ARE STARTING TO GROW MOLD SO IT WOULD BE NICE IF THERE WAS CHANGE.

YES

176 I WISH TO CARRY ON WITH SALFORD CITY COUNCIL NO177 I WILL BE VOTING NO NO178 IT WILL BE GOOD TO BE WITH SALIX HOMES BECAUSE

THEY WILL HELP WITH HOME IMPROVMENTS AND HELP CREATE JOBS FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO GET BACK INTO WORKING.

YES

179 No comments NS180 NO COMMENTS NS181 STAY WITH THE COUNCIL NO182 THINK IT’S A GOOD THING IF IT GOES AHEAD. THIS

ESTATE NEEDS SOMETHING DOING WITH IT TO CLEAN IT UP LIKE GETTING RID OF THE DRUG DEALERS AND CRACK DEALERS WHAT YOU HAVE MOVE IN IT A BLOODY

YES

14

DISCRASE183 I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP

TO SALIX HOMES BUT I WORRY THAT PEOPLE WHO BEHIND IN THEIR RENT COULD LOSE THERE HOMESO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE COME TO SEE ME OVER THIS MY DETAILS ARE: AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE THANK YOU VERY MUCH

YES

184 IF FUNDING FROM MAJOR GOVERNMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE, THEN TO MY MIND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO LOGICAL CHOICE BUT TO VOTE FOR SALIX, HOPING THAT THEY CAN MAINTAIN STANDARDS WITHOUT HUGE RENT INCREASES. (ME BEING A PENSIONER WITHOUT PRIVATE PENSION)

YES

185 I LIVE IN THIS FLAT FOR 11 YEARS AND BEFORE SALIX WAS NEW PROSPECT. I CAN TELL THAT SALIX BETTER THAN NEW PROSPECT BUT IM UNHAPPY BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO BUY MY FLAT SALIX SENT SOMEONE WHO CALLED DARREL AND LIED TO ME AND MADE ME SIGNED FOR HIM TO CANCEL THE BUYING BUT FOR BETTER FUTURE AND GET HELP FROM SALIX. I VOTE FOR SALIX

YES

186 No comments NS187 I HAVE SPOKE TO A FEW RESIDENTS AND THEY SEEM TO

THINK WITH ALL THE NEW FURNISHING AND THE FREEZING OF RENT THAT SOME HOW IT IS GOING TO COST US. HOW SURE ARE WE THAT WE WONT HAVE TO FORK OUT ANY MORE MONEY AND MYSELF AND OTHER RESIDENTS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING AS IT IS IM FINDING IT HARD TO KEEP MY FLAT AND WORK.

NS

188 PLEASE MAKE SURE THE RENT INCREASE IS ON THE INFLATION LINE NOT ABOVE. THE 26P PER DAY STANDING CHARGE SHOULD NOT BE PAID BY THE TENANTS IN PAY AS YOU GO METER HOUSES AS THEY PREPAY THE ELECTRICITY AND GAS THEY USE.

NS

189 I MYSELF IS HAPPY FOR THE TRANSFER TO GO AHEAD UP TO NOW SALIX HAS PROVED TO ME THAT THEY ARE VERY EFFICIENT ALL THE WORK THEY HAVE PROVIDED. AND THE REPAIRS THEY CARRY OUT. I WISH THEM EVERY SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE.

YES

190 IF THIS TRANSFER WILL REALLY OPEN NEW 'WINDOWS', I MEAN GIVE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO PEOPLE, I CAN SAY THAT IT’S A GOOD IDEA TRANSFERRING IT.

YES

191 No comments NS192 I WANT TO STAY A COUNCIL TENANT I HAVE BEEN WITH

THE COUNCIL OVER 50 YEARS AND DO ALL SMALL IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE MYSELF. THE SERVICE OF REPAIRS HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE SALIX SEES TO IT.

NO

193 No comments NS194 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR

THE TRANSFER AS I AM HAPPY THE WAY THINGS ARE. I HAVE HEARD RUMOURS AND SEEN THINGS THAT I DON’T LIKE SO GOING OFF THAT INFORMATION I WILL BE HAPPY STAYING WITH SALFORD CITY COUNCIL THANKING YOU

NO

195 REFERENCE TO PAGE 8 OF THE OFFER DOCUMENT - HOW COULD SALIX HOMES RAISE £75 MILLION IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TO IMPROVE HOMES AND THE COUNCIL COULD ONLY RAISE AND INVEST £42 MILLION. THE COUNCIL HAVE MORE ASSETS THAN SALIX HOMES

NS

15

SO WHY THE DIFFERENCE? 196 I HAVE BEEN WITH SALIX HOMES NOW FOR SOME TIME

AND I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN 100 PER CENT IN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE FOR THERE TENANTS. THAT IS WHY I WILL TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES. I THINK THEY ARE GOOD FOR THEIR TENANTS.

YES

197 TENANTS SHOULD BE CHECKED ON HOW MANY PETS THEY KEEP AS THERE A LOT OF CATS AND KITTENS ABOUT. THEY ARE A PEST. TENANTS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR THE UPKEEP OF THERE HOMES, ALSO CHECKS FOR SUB LETTING.

NS

198 WE COULD DO WITH MORE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES SUCH AS CAR PARKS AND PATHS BEING CLEANED, AS I AM DISABLED AND JUST LEARNING TO WALK AFTER BEING IN HOSPITAL AND FIND THESE PATHS ARE GETTING VERY MOSSY AND I AM AFRAID OF FALLING WITH MY WALKING FRAME I CANNOT WALK ANY FARTHER THAN AROUND THE CAR PARK SO IT IS DIFFICULT.

NS

199 I THINK THAT I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES. AS I AM 78 YEARS OLD AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND A LOT OF THINGS SO IF YOU COULD COME DOWN TO SEE ME AND MY NICE AS SHE LOOKS AFTER ME AND I NEED HER TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON SO COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME A LETTER WITH A DATE FOR SOMEONE TO SEE ME AND GO THROUGH IT ALL WITH ME I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL. THANKYOU

NS

200 I LIKE MY CONNECTIONS WITH THE HOUSING TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU!

NO

201 NO PROBLEM WITH THE CHANGE OVER. YES202 I DON’T HAVE ANY COMMENTS EXCEPT I PROPOSE TO

THE TRANSFERYES

203 YES FOR ANY PROPOSALS HAVE GOOD IMPACT TO TENANTS.

YES

204 YES TO THE CHANGE YES205 No comments NS206 I'M HAPPY WITH THE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES207 I REALLY HAVE NO VIEWS OR COMMENTS TO MAKE. NOT

THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED, I AM. JUST LETS GET ON WITH IT.

YES

208 IF TRANSFERRING = IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR HOMES IT’S A GOOD THING.

YES

209 SALIX HOMES ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THIS FOR SALFORD COUNCIL AND THE TENANTS OF SALFORD

YES

210 I AM HAPPY FOR THE TRANSFER TO SALIX TO GO AHEAD BECAUSE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF OUR HOMES IS IMPORTANT. MAKING THE NEIGHBOURHOOD SAFER AND FREE FROM CRIME AND ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR. LOOKING AFTER AND MAINTAINING THE COMMUNITY KEEPING IT CLEAN AND TIDY.

YES

211 I WILL BE VOTING YES TO SALIX OWNERSHIP. WE ARE RELYING ON SALIX TO KEEP ITS PROMISES WHICH IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST INCLUDING JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE.

YES

212 I AGREE WITH TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES. YES. YES213 I FULLY AGREE WITH THE COUNCIL'S PROPOSAL TO

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF ITS HOMES TO SALIX HOMESYES

16

214 IF TRANSFERRING TO SALIX HOMES IS THE WAY TO IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENT IN OUR HOMES THEN THAT’S THE WAY FORWARD

YES

215 I AM GOING TO VOTE YES. BECAUSE AS I HAVE READ THE ALL INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS FROM COUNCIL TO SALIX HOMES. I THERE THERE ARE MORE CHANCE TO IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR THE HOMES. THANK YOU.

YES

216 I AM HOPING SOON TO KNOW OUTCOME OF OUR HOUSES WILL BE, AS WE BADLY NEED NEW FLOORS IN THE BATHROOM AND LANDING SO I WILL USE MY VOTE AS SOON AS I RECEIVE IT.

YES

217 I WOOD LIKE TO VOTE YES, TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES, THANK YOU

YES

218 REALLY GOOD IDEA. HAVING WATCHED EVERY OTHER ESTATE AROUND RAMSGATE ST BEING GIVEN NEW FENCING NEW DOORS NEW WHATEVER THEY ASK FOR, AND WE HAVE HAD (NOTHING). ON 7.8.14 HAD COUNCIL OFFICER TELL ME I WASN’T GETTING NEW GATES BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL WANT THEM WHAT A JOKE THEY ARE ROTTEN AND FALLING OFF. CHANGE TO SALIX MAKE THINGS FAIR. SORRY ABOUT THE WRITING HAD A STROKE.

YES

219 NO PROBLEMS WITH ME. TRANSFER YES220 YES TO TRANSFER YES221 I DON'T WANT MY TENANCY TO TRANSFER TO SALIX

222 No comments NS223 No comments NS224 No comments NS225 I THINK SALIX HOMES IS BEST. YES. YES226 YES TO TRANSFER YES227 YOUR SALIX WHORE SH*T ARE SUCKING THE D*CK OF

IMMIGRANTS AND PROTECTING KID XXXXERS CALL IN THE POLICE NOW AS YOU DID LAST YEAR YOU …ING WHORE SH*T PIGS HAD TO DROP CHARGES BECAUSE I CAN PROVE THE PROVE XX LOVE P--- WE WANTED CITY WEST

NS

228 DON'T WANT TO GO OVER TO THE COUNCIL THEY TAKE TO LONG TO DO JOB AND BEEN WITH SALIX HOMES FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW AND I WANT TO STAY WITH THEM.

YES

229 I HAVE BEEN WITH SALIX HOMES SINCE DAY ONE AND I HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE ON TOP FORM. THEY DO REPAIRS QUITE QUICK AND ARRIVE ON TIME. MY VOTE WILL BE YES.

YES

230 DEAR SIR, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT MY FIRE HAS BEEN CONDEMNED BY BRITISH GAS AND MY COOKER NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED, SO WOULD YOU BE SO KIND TO COME OUT TO FIX THEM.

NS

231 I AM A PENSIONER ON PENSION CREDIT I HAVE NOTICED NOTHING MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT RENT REBATES! WHICH IS A GREAT CONCERN OF MINE, I DON'T PAY ANY RENT AT THE MOMENT, BUT IF I HAD TO PAY SOME RENT NO MATTER HOW SMALL, IT WOULD REALLY MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON HOW I LIVE. AND I KNOW IT WOULD AFFECT A LOT MORE PENSIONERS LIKE ME, CARN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE COUNSEL WANT TO SELL? YOU SAY TO BRING

NS

17

HOMES UP TO STANDARD SALEX WOULD USE THE RENT THEY GET FROM THE TENNANTS, WHY CARNT THE COUNSEL DO THAT? IT DOESN'T ADD UP TO ME.

232 DEAR MY IAN STEWART (SALFORD CITY MAYOR) AND MR J MERRY (DEPUTY ASSISTANT MAYOR) I AM WRITING TO STATE THAT I WISH TO VOTE. VOTE THAT THE OWNERSHIP STAYS WITH SALFORD CITY COUNCIL! AS MY LANDLORD AND OWNER. I AM A TENANT RESIDENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I HAVE ALWAYS RECEIVED AN EXCELLENT AND COURTEUS SERVICE FROM THEM AND HOPE THEY RETAIN THEIR PROPERTIES. YOURS SINSERELY.

NO

233 I WOULD LIKE TO USE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY OPINION ABOUT THE TRANSFERRING MY PROPERY'S OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES. I HAVE TO SAY I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY TO THIS ACTION AND HOPE THIS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR BOTH OF US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE. YES

234 I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFER JUST AS LONG AS I AM SAFE WHERE I LIVE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY WITH THE WORK CARRIED OUT BY SALIX

YES

235 I THINK THAT’S A GREAT IDEA AS SALIX IS THE ACTUAL LANDLORD AND THEY SHOULD HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THERE HOMES. I AM HAVING HIGH HOPES THAT YOU WILL TAKE CARE AND YOU WILL RENOVATE OUR HOUSES, GARDENS AND HOUSING ESTATE BECAUSE WE NEED IT.

YES

236 I AM QUITE HAPPY WITH THE COUNCIL OWNING THE PROPERTIES AND THE MAINTENANCE DONE BY SALIX. I DON’T SEE ANY REASON FOR CHANGING THE SYSTEM.

NO

237 ALL MY REPAIRS ARE ALREADY DONE BY SALIX SATISFACTORILY SO IN PRINCIPLE MY BEST BET IS TO STAY WITH THEM.

YES

238 I AM THINKING ABOUT THE CHANGE TO SALIX HOMES. I WOULD CONSIDER SOME MORE DETIALS AND INFORMATION ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.

NS

239 No comment NS240 NO QUALMS ABOUT SALIX TAKING OVER YES241 I AND MANY OTHERS WHO WILL NOT VOTE IN THE

HOUSING TRANSFER BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN NO CHOICE. IN FACT THE CHOISE IS TO STAY THE SAME , A BADLY RUN ORGANISATION THE CLEANING OF MY APARTMENT BLOCK IS TO BE HONEST POOR AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS BUT NOTHING IS DONE. WHY WERE WE NOT GIVEN A CHOICE OF AT LEAST 3 TO 4 HOUSING ORGANISATIONS ETC? INSTEAD SALIX HOMES OR THE COUNCIL AND IF WE CHOOSE THE COUNCIL GUESS WHAT? WE GET SALIX HOME! WHAT A PROZE!

NS

242 No comment NS 243 I THINK THAT’S A GREAT IDEA AS SALIX IS THE ACTUAL

LANDLORD AND THEY SHOULD HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THERE HOMES. I AM HAVING HIGH HOPES THAT YOU WILL TAKE CARE AND YOU WILL RENOVATE OUR HOUSES, GARDENS AND HOUSING ESTATE BECAUSE WE NEED IT.

YES

244 I WISH TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL, IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, I ASK THE COUNCIL TO PROVIDE MYSELF AND MY SON WITH SAME OR SIMILAR ACCOMMODATION, TENANCY WITH THE COUNCIL I FEEL IS LEGALLY MORE SECURE, RENT INCREASES CAUSE CONCERN AND I MAY WANT A COUNCIL RETIRMENT PLACE IN THE FUTURE.

NO

18

245 CUSTOMER SERVICE AT PRESENT IS EXCELLENT AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS TRANSFERRING TO SALIX IF THIS DOES NOT ENCOUNTER LOSS OF JOBS.

YES

246 WE WOULD LIKE NEW FENCIN TO MAKE WERE WE LIVE LOOK NICE IF DOESN'T HAPPEN THEN THERE IS NO POINT IN VOTIN FOR SALIX. WE LOOK AFTER ARE HOME.

NO

247 I HAVE DIGESTED THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED ME AND I AM IN FAVOUR OF THE PROPOSALS TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF MY HOME TO SALIX HOMES. I SAY YES VOTE IN THIS REGARD. THANK YOU AND BYE FOR NOW.

YES

248 I WISH TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. DO NOT CHANGE TO SALIX BECAUSE IT WILL BE A DISASTER.

NO

249 IN MY OPINION IT’S A VERY GOOD IDEA AND HAPPY TO SEE THIS PROJECT WORKS. I AGREE WITH THE MOVE.

YES

250 LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO LOOK AFTER THEIR HOMES WERE PENALISED A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN THEY WERE NOT GRANTED A NEW KITCHEN OR BATHROOM BECAUSE THEIRS WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, DESPITE BEING 10-12 YEARS OLD. I HOPE THIS TRANSFER DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE THESE FAMILIES ONCE AGAIN. TOTALLY UNFAIR, ESPECIALLY AS RENT INCREASES STILL APPLY TO THESE HOMES WHICH GAINED NOTHING.

NS

251 YES, PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF HOMES TO SALIX HOMES. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY MANY THINGS FACE TO FACE.

YES

252 No comment NS253 I THINK THAT BY SALIX TAKING OWNERSHIP OF

PROPERTIES FROM THE COUNCIL CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO MAINTAIN THE UPKEEP AND HOPEFULLY SALIX WILL MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO MANY HOMES IN BAD NEED OF REPAIR.

YES

254 I AM VERY HAPPY STAYING WITH THE COUNCIL I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS ALL THE TIME I HAVE RENTED FROM THEM AND AM SATISFIED. BETTER TO STAY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW AND ARE HAPPY WITH.

NO

255 I WANT TO SEE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE, TRAINING AND JOBS. I WANT TO SEE ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR TACKLED.

NS

256 I THINK THE COUNCIL SHOULD STAY AS THEY ARE, ALSO LET SALIX HOMES CONTINUE THE GOOD JOB THEY ARE DOING ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY SO LETS STAY AS WE ARE. NEITHER THE COUNCIL OR SALIX HAVE DONE ME ANY FAVOURS SO LETS STAY AS WE ARE . SAFE AND ALIVE

NO

257 YES WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE TO SALIX HOMES YES258 I DO NOT WANT TO BE TRANSFERRED TO SALIX. I WANT

TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL, BECAUSE THE RENT IS REASONABLE. ALSO IF I WANT TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT AREA IT WOULD BE EASIER IF THIS IS A COUNCIL HOUSE.

NO

259 THIS IS A VERY GOOD PROPOSAL BY THE COUNCIL BECAUSE SALIX HOMES WILL IMPROVE AND REGENERATE OUR HOUSING CONDITIONS. IN SHORT, IM FOR THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES.

YES

260 TRANSFERRING SOME HOMES TO SALIX HOMES IS A COUNCIL DECISION AS THE LOCAL AUTHORITY. IN THE OTHER HAND SALIX HOMES IS THE HOUSING ASSOCIATION THAT IS CURRENTLY MANAGING OUR HOMES AND WE ARE SATISFIED FROM ITS SERVICES. HOWEVER, WHILE WE FAVOURABLE TO VOTE YES, WE

YES

19

WORRY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF THIS TO OUR STANDARD LIVING IN NEAR FUTURE. TO BE CONTINUED. WE ARE FACING ANNUAL RENT INCREASINGS AND WE CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH WILL BE THIS AFTER SALIX HOMES INVESTS £75 MILLION. IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE MINIMUM WAGE HAS INCREASED AS FOLLOWING: £5.93 (2011); £6.08 (2012) £6.19 (EARLY 2013) AND £6.31 (LATE 2013 UP TO NOW). IN FACT IT JUST REPRESENTS 1.39% FROM £5.93 TO £6.31 IN FOUR YEARS. THERE IS NO COMMON MEASURE WITH THE RENT ANNUAL INCREASES. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION THE PRICES INCREASING OF GOODS AND OTHERS SERVICES OF EVERY DAY CONSUMPTION. ALSO, NOT EVERYONE GET BENEFITS.

261

I HAVE BEEN A COUNCIL TENANT FOR 44 YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PLEASED WITH THE SERVICES BUT IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE AND LET SALIX HOMES TAK EOVER THE EVERYDAY RUNNING OF THE ESTATE I AM SURE THEY WILL DO A GOOD JOB. YES

262

IF THE COUNCIL CAN NO LONGER AFFORD THE PROPERTY REPAIRS BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT CUTS I CONSIDER IT A GOOD MOVE FOR TENANTS, TO BE ABLE TO BRING PROPERTIES BY SALIX UP TO A REASONABLE STANDARD. YES

263

SATYING WITH THE COUNCIL BECAUSE ONCE TRANSFERRED TO SALIX HOMES WILL BE OPERATING DIFFERENTLY, ONE DOES NOT KNOW THERE FUTURE POLICIES. THEY SHOULD GIVE MORE INFORMATION WHAT WILL BE THE BENEFITS DIFFERENT FROM COUNCILS. NO

264

WHY DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE TO GIVE SALIX HOME OWNERSHIP OF ALL THE HOUSES AND FLATS FOR NOTHING. YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE THE TENANTS THE RIGHT TO HAVE OWNERSHIP FROM NOTHING AND THAT WAY, TENANT WOULD NOT HAVE TO CLAIM HOUSING BENEFIT. ALL THE WORK WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BY THE TENANT OWNERSHIP AND NOT BY SALIX WHICH IS HARD WORK TRYING TO GET WORK DONE BY SALIX, IVE BEEN WAITING TO HAVE WORK DONE FOR 8 MONTHS AND STILL WAITING. SO I SAY NO TO SALIX. NO

265

I THINK A TRANSFER WOULD BE A SENSIBLE MOVE AS IT WOULD TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE COUNCIL WHO ARE STRUGGLING, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH RENOVATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS DONE TO MY HOME. I AM 78 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS GIVEN ME NEW INDEPENDENCE. THANK YOU YES

266 I WILL BE VOTING NO NO

267I DO NOT TRUST SALIX NOW LET ALONE AS A PRIVATE LAND LORD. SO! NO! IS MY VOTE NO

268TOTALLY OPPOSED. I WANT TO SEE COUNCIL TAKE BACK CONTROL. NO

269

I DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE AS I LIKE THE SECURITY OF KNOWING MY HOME IS OWNED BY THE COUNCIL NO

270 No comment YES

271

I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES. THEY HAVE GOT THE MONEY TO IMPROVE THE HOMES THAT WE LIVE IN YES

272 I HAVE NO OBJECTION SALIX HOMES TAKING OVER THEY YES

20

ARE VERY PLESENT PEOPLE I HAVE NOT MET ANYONE I COULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL NOTHING HAS TO WAIT FOR DAYS THEY ARE THEIR WITHIN HOURS OF GETTING THROUGH TO THEM.

273

I WANT TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT SALIX HOMES WOULD BORROW WOULD MEAN THE RENTS GO SKY HIGH AND I CAN SEE TENANTS SUCH AS ME HAVING TO MOVE OUT. IM 76 YEARS OLD. NO

274

I WOULD PREFER TO BE WITH SALIX HOMES AS THE PROPERTY WILL BE IMPROVED. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THE FULL BLOCK IS A MESS YES

275

I WOULD BE HAPPY FOR SALIX HOMES TO HAVE THE OWNERSHIP. IVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM. THEY SEEM FAIR. YES

276

SIR. I HAVE TO TELL YOU I AM 97 YEARS OLD AND DON’T UNDERSTAND A LOT OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, I ALSO FORGET DATES AND THINGS YOU SEND ME SO YOU HAVE TO EXCUSE ME NOT JOINING SOMETHING. I OBEY ALL YOUR RULES. NS

277

WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS TRANSFER BECAUSE WE'D LOVE TO HAVE A NEW, BETTER HOME. OUR KITCHEN AND BATHROOM NEED RENOVATING, AND ALSO REALLY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE NEW. WE ARE MOST ON THE 'YES' AND WE CAN NOT WAIT. WE ARE POSITIVE ON ALL OF THESE NEW CHANGES. THE NEW LOOK OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, YOU ARE DOING FOR THE PEOPLE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND COMFORT OF LIFE AND WANT TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SECURITY. WE HOPE THAT THE TRANSFER WILL GO AHEAD AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY :) MANY THANKS :) YES

278

I AM IN FAVOUR OF SALIX TAKING OVER THE OWNERSHIP OF COUNCIL PROPOERTIES I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND SALIX TO BE VERY GOOD IN RESPONDING TO PROBLEMS. THEY ARE ALAYS READY TO HELP WHEN YOU NEED THEM. I WILL CERTAINLY GIVE THEM MY VOTE. YES

279

I AM QUITE HAPPY FOR SALIX TO TAKE OVER. FOR 42 YEARS IVE LIVED IN NEWBANK TOWERS. WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH SALIX A LOT REGARDS REPAIRS AND FOUND THEM FIRST CLASS AND FRIENDLY AND THE JOB DONE. YES

280

THE IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENT NEEDED FOR HOMES NEIGHBOURHOODS AND SERVICES CAN BE GUARANTEED FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. YES

281

I DO NOT PREFER TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES. I DO NOT HAVE ANY TRUST IN TRANSFERRING ANY PRIVATE OWNERSHIP BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY THEIR MAIN AIM IS PROFIT. NO

282 No comment NS

283I AM PLEASE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I VOTE NO. I WILL BE HAPPY IF MY HOME STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. NO

284

INVESTMENT INTO HOMES BY SALIX HOMES IS MUCH GREATER OPPORTUNITY OFFERED COMPARED TO THE COUNCILS FIGURES. I FEEL THAT LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL BE INVESTED IF THE TRANSFER GOES AHEAD WILL BE MORE BENEFICIAL THAN THE COUNCILS INVESTMENT. WE HAVE HAD MORE INTERACTION WITH SALIX THAN THE COUNCIL AND I FEEL THAT THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS SO AFTER MANY YEARS UNDER THEIR CONTRACT OF YES

21

AGREEMENT WITH SALFORD CITY COUNCIL.

285 NO COMMENTS NO

286

CAN YOU PLEASE DEFINE WHAT ASSURED TENANCY MEANS RATHER THAN SECURE. I AM IN PHASE 4 POETS OFFER DOCUMENT DOES NOT SUPPORT WHAT WE AGREED AT THE STEERING GROUP MEETINGS. I WILL BRING THIS UP AT THE NEXT MEETING AND WILL BE SEEKING ALL OF MY NEIGHBOURS VIEWS ON THIS. IN THE OFFER DOCUMENT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 5 OPTIONS, THE LAST ONE BEING A GUARANTEE TO MOVE BACK INTO A NEW BUILD IF THAT IS THE TENANTS CHOICE. NS

287 I INTEND TO VOTE NO NO

288

IF THE COUNCIL IS SO SHORT OF MONEY THEY WILL BE SO MUCH SHORTER ONCE THEY LOSE ALL THE RENTS ON COUNCIL PROPERTIES. IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME! NO

289

I BEEN WITH SALIX FOR 10 YEARS AND I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THEM WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY ARE QUICK ON THE PHONE AND THEY DID PUT A NEW BATHROOM AND KITCHEN IN FOR US BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I STILL HAVE RESPECT FOR THE COUNCIL I NO THEY ARE VERY HARD WORKERS. NS

290

I RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE SALIX HOMES. THE FUTURE PLANNING AND PROPOSALS IN THESE LETTERS ARE TOO GENERAL AND NOT SPECIFIC - IE HOW MANY OF THESE PROPOSALS WILL BE APPLIED TO MY HOME AT MULBERRY COURT? NS

291

THIS LADY IS REALLY VERY HAPPY WITH SALIX AND REALLY DOES WANT THE PROPERTIES TO GO OVER TO SALIX RATHER THAN STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. SHE IS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR REPAIRS. ALWAYS DONE IN A TIMELY WAY, STAFF ALWAYS VERY POLITE, CANT SEE THIS CHANGING IF IT GOES OVER TO SALIX. 100% IN AGREEMENT WITH IT GOING OVER TO SALIX. YES

292

IT IS UP TO THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE REALLY. EVERYWHERE LIVING IS THE SAME AS LONG AS LIVING STANDARD IS GOOD AND COMMUNITY IS SAFE. I WILLING TO GO ALONG. I WANT TO SAY 'YES' THANK YOU. YES

293

I AM REALLY SATISFIED WITH SALIX AND EVERYTHING THEY DO. IVE HAD NEW WINDOWS AND KITCHEN THEY’VE BEEN ON THE BALL WITH EVERYTHING. THEY GET ON WITH THE JOB. I WILL BE VOTING YES. YES

294

I THINK THE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE AND I WILL BE SAYING YES TO THE TRANSFER FROM COUNCIL HOMES TO SALIX HOMES BECAUSE THE COUNCIL IS SAYING THAY THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO KEEP HOMES DECENT STANDARDS AND THAT IS WHY I WILL BE SAYING YES ON THE BALLOT DAY. YES

295

I THINK THE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE AND I WILL BE SAYING YES TO THE TRANSFER FROM COUNCIL HOMES TO SALIX HOMES BECAUSE THE COUNCIL IS SAYING THAY THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO KEEP HOMES DECENT STANDARDS AND THAT IS WHY I WILL BE SAYING YES ON THE BALLOT DAY. YES

296

I BEEN WITH SALIX FOR 6 YEARS AND I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THEM THEY DO BECAUSE THEY WORK HARD ON WHAT THEY DO BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I STILL HAVE RESPECT FOR COUNCIL THEY ARE VERY HARD WORKERS NS

22

297

YES IM FOR SALIX TAKING OVER FROM THE COUNCIL, AS THE SALIX AT THE MOMENT ARE DOING A DARN GOOD JOB SO HOPEFULLY TRANSFER GOES THROUGH IM HAPPY WITH THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE. YES

298

WITH REFERENCE TO THE PROPOSED STOCK TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES, IN PRINCIPLE I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. HOWEVER I DO HAVE RESERVATIONS REGARDING ANY REFURBISHMENTS BECAUSE AFTER THE TOTAL DEBARCLE WITH FORREST IN 2012 THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NO WAY WHATSOEVER WE ARE PUTTING UP WITH THAT AGAIN. IF YOU WANT ANY DETAILS OF THIS PLEASE SPEAK TO CHRIS O'DOHERTYAND JOE GRUNDY. SECONDLY AS REGARDS TO ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR IVE HAD ENOUGH PROBLEMS OVER THE LAST 16 MONTHS IM NOT CONVINCED THINGS WILL CHANGE AT ALL. NS

299

I DIDN’T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE LETTER SO CAN YOU PLEASE CALL ME BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND EXPLAIN TO ME MORE. YES

300

ALL THOUGH I AM HAPPY WITH SALFORD COUNCIL I THINK IT WILL BE FOR THE BEST, IF IT IS TRANSFERRED TO SALIX HOMES YES

301

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A POLISH SATELLITE ON THE ROOF OF MY BUILDING AND HAVE A POLISH SIGNAL ON MY TV NS

307

WE ARE ASKING SALIX HOMES TO RESPECT EVERY RIGHT OF EVERY TENANT AS IT WAS RESPECTED AND DONE UNDER SALFORD CITY COUNCIL OWENERSHIP IF THE TRANSFER GOES AHEAD. WE NEED THE OFFER DOCUMENT YOURHOME YOUR SAY IN FRENCH NS

308

I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE THE COUNCIL TRANSFER OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES. I HAVE LIVED IN A COUNCIL HOME ALL OF MY LIFE AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN RUN BY THE COUNCIL, THERE SERVICE HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. NO

309

I AM IN FAVOUR OF THE COUNCILS PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER OWNERHSIP OF HOMES TO SALIX. I SHOULD PREFER THAT FITZWARREN COURT BE PRESERVED. SHOULD I HAVE TO MOVE I WOULD WANT TO BE REHOUSED IN TWO BED ACCOMMODATION. YES

SALIX HAS LISTED A LOT OF GOOD IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WANT TO DO IN OUR PROPERTIES AND I AM REALLY FOR THE IDEA THAT THE TRANSFER GOES THROUGH. YES

331 STAY WITH COUINCIL NO332 WE THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD THING. WE ARE JUST A BIT YES

24

CONCERNED IT TENANTS RIGHTS WILL ALTER OR IF THE RENT WILL INCREASE MORE THAN WHAT THE COUNCIL WOULD INCREASE IT.

333

I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY SAYING I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HOUSE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES BECAUSE SALIX IT HAS BEEN GOOD LANDLORD SINCE SO I SAID THE TRANSFER SHOULD GO AHEAD IT WILL ALSO GIVE JOB OPPORTUNITIES YES

334

I AM SORRY BUT I AM UNABLE TO FILL IN AS I HAVE HAD A OPERATION ON MY RIGHT HAND. I ALSO HAVE CATERACTS IN BOTH EYES BUT I AM ALL FOR SALIX HOMES TO MANAGE MY HOME. THANK YOU. NS

335

YES I WOULD LIKE I SUPPORT THE COUNCILS PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF ITS HOMES TO SALIX HOMES, MAINLY BECAUSE OUR HOMES WILL BENEFIT FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE GOOD SERVICES WHICH ARE PROVIDED BY SALIX HOMES. YES

336

ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM SALIX HOMES I AM NOT IN FAVOUR OF THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. THOUGH THE COUNCIL IS NOT ABLE TO BORROW MONEY NOW, IT IS NOT SET IN STONE. A DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT MIGHT CHANGE THIS. THOUGH YOU SAY THAT NO ALMO HAS EVER GONE BUST – THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY. ONCE THE HOMES ARE GONE. THEY ARE GONE. NO

337

I WOULD SAY 'YES' IF SALIX HOMES IS REALLY GOING TO BE STRICT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN COUNCILS OFFER DOCUMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO A NEW AREA (WITHIN 10-15 MINS WALKING DISTANCE) WHERE MY RELATIVES LIVE IN LOWER BROUGHTON MANAGED BY SALIX HOMES. WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE? WOULD IT ALSO BE POSSIBLE IF I WISH TO COME BACK AFTER IMPROVEMENTS? NS

338

I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY SAYING I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HOUSE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES BECAUSE SALIX IT HAS BEEN GOOD LANDLORD SINCE SO I SAID THE TRANSFER SHOULD GO AHEAD IT WILL ALSO GIVE JOB OPPORTUNITIES YES

339 TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES

340

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF SALIX HOMES IS THE BEST AMONG THE COUNCIL HOUSE OR HOME AGENT. GIVEN THE OWNERSHIP TRANSFER IS THE BEST THAT CAN HAPPEN TO SALFORD THIS TIME AROUND. SALIX HOMES IS CAPABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS HOMES. 'YES' TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES YES

341

SALIX HOMES HAS BEEN ACTING FOR COUNCIL FOR LONG PPERIOD OF YEARS WITH CARE AND SUPPORTING FOR NEED OF PEOPLE IN SALFORD, THEY RESPOND ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS AN A VERY GOOD MANNER I THINK THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO TAKE CARE OF THE COUNCILS HOMES IE EVERY COUNCIL HOME SHOULD BE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES

342

I WILL LIKE THE COUNCILS TO REMAIN THE LANDLORD OF THE COUNCIL HOUSE. I WILL ALWAYS VOTE NO FOR THE TRANSFER TO THE SALIX HOMES. NO TRANSFER. NO

343

NEED TO HELP EVERYONE WITH HOUSE AND GARDEN NOT CHOOSEN FEW (OLD PEOPLE) THE COUNCIL NEED TO DO UP THE BRICKED SUBWAY GOING FROM NS

25

PENDLETON CHURCH TO SALFORD SHOPPING CENTRE AND CLEAN EVERYTHING IN THE AREA SO THERE BE NO MORE MICE AND RATS. PUT STEPS NEAR THE SUBWAY WHERE THE POLICE STATION IS SO IT BE BETTER IN WINTER AND PEOPLE WHO FIND WALK BY OR DOWN THE SLOPE A PROBLEM. BUT THESE ARE CLEARLY ELSE IN ALL THE MAIL SHOTS WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY.

344

SALIX WOULD MAKE A BRILLIANT LANDLORD THEY WILL BE GOOD AT KEEPING THEIR PROMISES TO US TENANTS. I WILL BE VOTING FOR SALIX TO BE PRINCIPLE OWNER OF OUR HOMES. THANK YOU SALIX. YOU’RE THE BEST. YES

345 WE ARE HAPPY WITH SALIX HOMES N S

346

I KNOW YOU SAY WE HAVE GOT A CHOICE BUT I DON’T THINK WE HAVE IF WE SAY NO WE DON’T GET ANY IMPROVEMENTS SO I WILL VOTE YES BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN REASSURED MY HOME WILL BE BROUGHT UP INTO A DECENT STANDARD WHICH IT DESPERATELY NEEDS. YES

347

I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING AS THESE HOUSES ON MY ROW NEED A LOT OF REPLACEMENTS. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING DONE FOR 14 YEARS. WE NEED NEW BATHROOM AND NEW DOORS AND NEW KITCHENS AND DECENT GATES ON THE FRONT. I HAVENT HAD ONE FOR YEARS. YES

348 I AM FOR TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES YES

349

WHAT CONCERNS MY WIFE AND I IS 'IF' SALIX HOMES TAKE OVER 8500 HOUSE THEN WHERE WILL THE COUNCIL STAND? THERE ARE NO ENOUGH EXPLANATIONS ABOUT THE MONEY INTEREST AND SO ON. WILL BE ANY NEW WAVE FOR PAYMENT TO FUND ETC TO COMMENT THAT RENTS WILL BE SET IN LINE WITH GOVERNMENT POLICY - WE ARE NOT HAPPY HOW THEY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TRANSPARANCE IN ALL NS

350

I THINK IT SHOULD STAY WITH SALIX HOMES, SO MY VOTE IS YES PS IF IT WENT TO COUNCIL A LOT OF PEOPLE WONT PAY THERE RENT/COUNCIL TAX AND GO TO PRISON OR GET EVICTED AND MADE HOMELESS YES

351 I BELIEVE THE TRANSFER WILL BENEFIT ALL TENANTS. YES

352I DO NOT WANT SALIX HOMES TOO OWN MY HOME I WANT TOO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL NO

353I THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA FOR SALIX TO TAKE OVER FROM THE COUNCIL YES

354 YES TO COUNCIL. NO TO SALIX. NO

355

DURING THE PAST YEAR OUR HOME HAS BEEN ADAPTED TO COPE WITH MY DISABILITY (HEART FAILURE), THIS INCLUDES, RAILS, A WET ROOM, AND A LIFT. COULD YOU TAKE THISI INTO ACCOUNT AS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS HAVE BEEN PUT INTO OUR HOME, NOW WE LIVE WITH THE PROSPECT OF IT BEING DEMOLISHED. NS

356

I FULLY SUPPORT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS PROVIDED THAT ALL THE RIGHTS SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO BUY AND ALL OTHERS REMAIN THE SAME. I ASSUME THAT ALL THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENT AS WELL AS MY CURRENT RIGHTS WILL BE UNAFFECTED. YES

357

I WOULD LIKE TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL AS I FEEL RIGHT SECURE WITH THE COUNCIL. I HAVE BEEN WITH SALFORD COUNCIL FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND I DO NOT NO

26

FEEL YOU SHOULD LOSE THE BUSINESS.

358

I DON’T THINK THE VOTE SHOULD TAKE PLACE UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION AS YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT THE GOVERNMENT POLICY WILL BE AFTER THAT. THE COUNCIL COULD BE ABLE TO GET THE MONEY TO DO KEY WORKS OR BUILD NEW HOMES ONCE YOU KNOW THE FACTS YOU CAN MAKE A MORE INFORMED CHOICE. NS

359I THINK THAT THE TRANSFER OWNERSHIP TO SALIX HOMES IS A GOOD IDEA. YES

360I HAVE NO VIEWS EXCEPT WILL SALIX HOMES KEEP THE GOOD LIVING STANDARDS WE HAVE NOW? NS

361

I THINK THE TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES IS THE BEST WAY FORWARD AS THEY WILL HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE PROPERTIES AND THE AREA TO KEEP THEM UP TO DATE AND IN GOOD CONDITION. I WILL BE VOTING YES FOR SALIX HOMES. YES

362

I WANT TO SAY YES IF IT NECESSARY TO MOVE AWAY TO A NEW PLACE THEN IT A GOOD THING ALSO IMPORTANT IT LIVE IN A GOOD AREA WHERE THE COMMUNITY IS SAFE AND QUIET. THANK YOU. YES

363

I PREFER TO STAY WITH THE COUNDIL BECAUSE I FEEL GOOD WITH THEM AND I HOPE THEY WILL FIND THE MONEY TO DO REPAIRS. I STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. NO

364

I THINK THAT THE COUNCIL SHOULD TRANSFER ALL HOMES OVER TO SALIX AS LONG AS THEY CAN MEET UP TO THE STANDARDS OF REPAIRS THAT NEED SORTING BUT I STRONGLY AGREE WITH THE TRANSFER AND THEREFORE HAVE OUR VOTE. YES

365

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING NOW FOR OVER 4 YEARS TO GET THE TREES CUT DOWN IN MY FRONT AND BACK GARDEN. I PHONED THE COUNCIL BACK IN 2012 TO FIND OUT WHEN THE JOB WAS GOING TO BE COMPLETED, ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS "NO MONEY LEFT IN THE BUDGET" AND WOULD BE PUT ON THE BUDGET FOR 2013. I RANG IN APRIL 2013 AND WAS TOLD "YES WE WAS ON THE BUDGET". I RANG AGAIN IN MAY AND WAS TOLD THE JOB WOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS. I RANG AGAIN IN JUNE TO BE TOLD THEY WAS RUNNING BEHIND. A NEIGHBOUR SAID SHE WOULD FIND OUT FOR US WHICH SHE DID BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO THE JOB BECAUSE OF ALL THE RUBBISH IN THE FRONT AND BACK GARDEN. SHE INFORMED THEM THERE WAS NO RUBBISH IN THE FRONT OR BACK. SHE WAS THEN TOLD THEY HAD THE WRONG ADDRESS. SHE THEN AGAIN CONTACTED THEM ON OUR BEHALF ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS TOO MANY ORNAMENTS IN THE BACK GARDEN WHICH IS NOT TRUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTER FOR MY SAFETY (DISABLED). DISAPPOINTED TENANT (SALFORD CITY COUNCIL) COPY OF THIS LETTER RETAINED FOR ADVERTISER IF NECESSARY. NS

366

IF SALIX TAKES ON THE COUNCILS HOUSING STOCK AND THEY WILL BE BORROWING MONEY TO BRING THE HOUSES UP TO STANDARD WILL THE COUNCIL RECIEVE ANY GOVERNMENT FUNDS FOR THE HOUSING THEY OWNED AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO FUNDING MONIES FOR OTHER ITEMS UNDER THE COUNCILS BUDGET? WOULD WE SEE ANY MORE CUTS IN SERVICES OR WILL NS

27

IT JUST BE SPARE MONEY FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCILLORS TO RECIEVE BIGGER WAGE AND BONUSES FOR MONEY SAVED FOR PASSING THE HOMES ONTO SALIX? I VOTED YES FOR THE MAYOR. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER REFERENDUM THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO.

367

I LIVE HERE SINCE OCTOBER 2006. FROM THE BEGINNING I WAS QUITE HAPPY HERE. I AM AFRAID TO SAY NOT LAST YEAR. NOW I AM A LITTLE BIT UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR SERVICES ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND VANDALISM OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITHOUT WORK WHO ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING, CAUSING A LOT OF MESS (RUBBISH) PROBLEMS ALMOST DAILY (DRUGS AND ALCOHOLISM). BIG NOISE DURING THE NIGHTS! AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS OF MANY PEOPLE AND PROMISES NOTHING WAS DONE OR STORTED OUT. THE QUESTION IS WHERES THE LAW HERE? HOPEFULLY THAT SALIX HOMES WILL BE ABLE TO IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE. MANY FROM THESE THINGS, WHICH ARE LIKE NIGHTMARE IN THE LAST DAYS AND MONTHS. NS

368

I HAVE LIVED IN THIS HOUSE SINCE 3RD MAY 1976 AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY IN MY HOME BRINGING UP A FAMILY OF 4 CHILDREN. SADLY I AM NOW A WIDOW SINCE JULY 2011. I TRUST SALIX HOMES TO TAKE CARE OF OUR HOMES AS THEY HAVE SINCE 2011. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND KINDNESS. NS

369

I MET WITH YOUR INVESTMENT PROGRAMME IS BEING PREPARED AND I AM SURE THAT IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL ALL THE RESIDENTS OF SALFORD. THIS IS A VERY LARGE INVESTMENT I SAY YES. YES

370

THE PROPOSED TRANSER WOULD BE A BETTER OPTION FOR ALL TENANTS AS THE HIGH RISE BLOCKS RUN BY SALIX HOMES FOR THE COUNCIL HAS DETERIATED SINCE. THE STATIC LIVE IN CARETAKERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY A TEAM OF CLEANERS THAT COVER FOUR OR FIVE BLOCKS THAT YOU SEE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS UNTIL THE DAY. YES

371

I AM OPPOSED TO THE STOCK TRANSFER. I BELIEVE THE HOUSING STOCK SHOULD COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL SHOULD BE LOBBYING THE GOVERNMENT FOR A HIGH DEBT NO

372

THE TRANSFER OF COUNCIL HOMES TO SALIX HOMES IS THE BIGGEST PRIVATISATION SCAM THE UK HAS EVER SEEN. IT'S NO GOOD SAYING THE COUNCIL CANNOT BORROW THE MONEY BUT SALIX CAN. THE COUNCIL OF SALFORD AND ALL THE OTHER COUNCILS IN THE UK SHOULD STAND UP FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AND DEMAND THE MONEY. IF IT IS REFUSED THEN CHANGE THE LAW FOR THE COMMON GOOD. SHAME ON SALFORD COUNCIL FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF IT'S ASSETS. SALFORD COUNCIL SHOULD BE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE OF SALFORD NOT AGAINST THEM. STAND UP AND TELL THE PEOPLE OF SALFORD THE TRUTH. SHAME ON YOU. TELL ME AM I WRONG? NO

373

I WOULD RATHER STAY WITH THE COUNCIL WHERE I WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER THAN CHANGE. WHERE WOULD WE BE REALLY WITHOUT SALFORD COUNCIL? OTHERS HAVE TRIED THIS AND VOTED AGAINST CHANGE NO

28

FROM COUNCILS, THIS SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.

374

AFTER YEARS OF DISAPPOINTMENT WITH COUNCILS PROMISES OF REFURBISHMENT OF MY HOUSE AND THEN BEING LEFT OUT AND SALIX HOMES SAYING THEY WILL IM SAYING YES TO THE TRANSFER AFTER BEING AT SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH SALIX AND I LIKE WHAT THEY ARE PROMISING ME AND MY NEIGHBOURS AT LONG LAST. YES

375

IT SEEMS SALIX ARE ALREADY RUNNING THE HOUSING AND FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD IT SEEMS THAT THE COUNCIL REALLY CANT AFFORD THE RUNNING COSTS SO I THINK YOU SHOULD LET THEM GO TO SALIX. YES

376

I'M FUNDAMENTALLY OPPOSED TO THE STOCK TRANSFER. I DONT BELIEVE SALIX ARE EQUIPPED TO BECOME AN RSL. I DO NOT WANT MY TENACY RIGHTS TO BE WATERED DOWN. NO

377

MY HOUSE AND OTHER HOUSES ON THE STREET WERE COMPLETELY RENOVATED WITH STATE MONEY (EXCEPT THE ROOF) SO I DO NOT SEE THE POINT TO COUNCIL GET RID OF TESE HOUSES FOR SALIX HOUSES. MOREOVER, THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF MY HOUSE TO SALIX HOMES DOES NOT SEE ANY BENEFITS FOR ME (---) SO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN CHANGE OF OWNER OF MY HOUSE. NO

378

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY NO TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF COUNCILS HOMES TO SALIX HOMES. I DISAGREE WITH TRANSFERRING MY HOME TO SALIX HOMES. NO

379

I WOULD PREFER TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL DESPITE ITS DIMINISHING FUNDS. THE WORK DONE RECENTLY UNDER SALIX IS EXTREMELY SHABBY AND THEY ARE VERY MESSY IN THEIR MANAGEMENT. THEY MAY HAVE MONEY BUT THEY DO NOT USE IT WISELY OR PROPERLY. NO

380

I THINK THE PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES WILL GO AHEAD, IF THE COUNCIL DONT HAVE THE MONEY. HOPE SALIX DO A GOOD JOB. YES

381

MY VOTE IS YES TO SALIX HOMES I THINK THE SALIX HOMES MAKE IN THE FUTURE I'M VERY SATISFIED, THANK YOU YES

382

HOW COME THE FACIA BOARDS ON THE BUNGALOWS HAVE NOT BEEN RENOVATED. YET THE REST OF THE ESTATE HAS. MY WIFE HAS CANCER AND THIS FACIA IS ASBESTOS. NS

383

MAYBE A TIME FOR A CHANGE. I HAVE FOUND THE COUNCIL TO BE FIRST CLASS LANDLORDS AND I HOPE SALIX WILL BE THE SAME. GOOD LUCK. YES

384 WILL IT BE THE SAME AS THE SALFORD COUNCIL RULES? NS

385

I THINK IT WOULD BE THE WORST MISTAKE EVER FOR SALFORD COUNCIL TO GO INTO. "VOTE NO"!!! I CANT HELP BUT THINK IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED UPON AND THAT A PEOPLES VOTE IS JUST MADE UP TO LOOK LIKE WE HAVE A SAY. I BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED IN EXETER. NO

386

I WOULD LIKE THESE HOUSES TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL. WE HAVE LIVED IN OURS 38 YEARS, I HAVE LIVED ON THIS ROAD FOR 56 YEARS. WE DONT WANT TO MOVE. WE HAVE ALWAYS VOTED LABOUR AND NOW WE THINK ITS TIME THEY STOOD UP FOR US. PELASE DONT TAKE OUR HOMES OFF US. ONE THING ID LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOUT IS THIS: HANDS BUILD HOUSES, HEARTS NO

29

MAKE HOMES AND THIS IS A HAPPY ONE.

387

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY FOR SALIX TO TAKE OVER THESE PROPERTIES AS LONG AS THEY GO THROUGH WITH ALL THE PROMISES THEY HAVE MADE TO THE TENANTS ARE FOLLOWED THROUGH. IF THEY ARE VOTED IN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS ALL PASSED WOULD WE BE GIVEN A TIME LINE FOR WHEN ALL THIS MOVING IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE? YES

388

I HOPE OUR REPAIRS WILL BE COMPLETED, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY NEW FRONT DOOR SINCE FEB. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS ON ORDER. HOPEFULLY THE POETS CAN HAVE A MUCH NEEDED MAKEOVER. GOOD LUCK WITH THE TRANSFER. YES

389AS A PREVIEW VOTE I WILL VOTE ON SALIX HOMES TO BE MY TENANT FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. YES

390AS A PREVIEW VOTE I WILL VOTE ON SALIX HOMES TO BE MY TENANT FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. YES

391

THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN OUR FAMILY HOME FOR OVER 21 YEARS. WE LOVE THIS HOUSE. IT IS NOT OUR HOUSE, ITS OUR HOME. WE DO NOT REALLY WANT TO MOVE, ALL OF OUR MEMORIES ARE HERE. OUR GARDEN WHICH WE ADORE HAS TAKEN MANY YEARS TO GET THE WAY WE LOVE, IT IS VERY SENTIMENTAL IN MANY WAYS. WE, HOWEVER, ARE NOT PLEASED ABOUT HAVING TO PAY THE SAME AMOUNT OF RENT THAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS PAYING WHEN THEY HAVE HAD THEIR HOMES REFURBISHED, WHEN OUR HAS NOT BEEN. WE ALL HAVE PRIORITIES AT WORK WHICH WOULD MAKE IT IMPROSSIBLE TO TAKE TIME OFF FOR MOVING. ALSO HAVING TO BE IN WORK ALL THE TIME MEANS WE DO NOT KNOW THE LATEST NEWS REGARDING THE FUTURE OF OUR HOME. TO BE HONEST I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO VOTE WHEN IA MNOT SURE WHAT WILL BE ON OUR BEST INTEREST. IF IT COMES TO HAVING TO MOVE OUT OF OUR HOME THERE IS THE INCONVENIENCE OF ALL THE CHANGE TO BE MADE IE, BILLS, JEOPARDISING OUR JOBS, HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK. I ALSO HAVE NOT INTENSION OF DOWNSIZING, AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WHO STAY ON A REGULAR BASIS AND WHO I TAKE CARE OF ON THE HOURS I DO NOT WORK. IF IT COMES TO HAVING TO MOVE I WOULD ONLY CONSIDER SWINTON AND PENDLEBURY AREA AS THIS IS CLOSE TO OUR WORK AND FAMILY. NS

392

WHY IS IT, ON RENEVATION OF THE PROPERTY THE FACIA BOARD WAS NOT REMOVED AS IT IS ASBESTOS. I HAVE CANCER. AS ALL THE OTHER PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN RENOVATED EXCEPT THE 4 BUNGALOWS. NS

393

I THINK THIS DECISION TO TRANSFER THE HOUSING IS WRONG, THE COUNCIL WILL RECIEVE LESS MONEY FROM GOVERNMENT IF THEY SELL OFF ASSETS. EVERYBODY IS DEALING WITH AUSTERITY THE COUNCIL SHOULD TELL THE GOVERNMENT TO PRINT MONEY FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD NOT FOR THE BANKING SECTOR. WHAT WILL YOU SELL OFF NEXT WHEN THEY CUT YOUR BUDGET, THE PUBLIC NEED THEIR COUNCILS TO STAND UP TO GOVERNMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE AS THEY DONT LISTEN TO US. NO

394 I VOTE NO AS I AM EXTREMELY SATSIFIED WITH THE NO

30

COUNCIL. AS A CUSTOMER MY FAMILY AND ME ARE VERY HAPPY WITH SALFORD COUNCIL. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO THEIR TENANTS AND NOW AS A LEASEHOLDER I ALSO WISH THEM TO REMAIL MY LANDLORD. PLEASE LET THE COUNCIL REMAIN, LET SALIX GO ELSEWHERE, DOWN SOUTH PREFERABLY.

395

SALIX APPEARS TO BE INVESTING MUCH INTEREST IN WOOING EASILY REACHED GROUPS OF TENANTS TO VOTE YES IN THE FORTHCOMING BALLOT. THEREFORE IT IS A SURPRISE THAT IT REMAINS SO DISINTERESTED IN PROVIDING ANY KIND OF SERVICE TO THER LONG STANDING TENANTS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. IS THAT TO MUNDANE FOR SALIX OR IS SALIX FIXATED ON PROVIDING FOR THOSE TENANTS WHO MAKE NOT ATEMPT TO PROVIDE ANYTHING FOR THEMSELVES? IS THAT THE DEFINITION OF SOCIAL HOUSING TO WHICH SALIX HOPES TO ASPIRE? TO SQUEEZE OUT THOSE TENANTS WHO PAY RENT BY PROVIDING THEM WITH NO SERVICE THAT IS COMPARABLE WITH OTHER TENANTS. THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF SOME OF THE WORKMANSHIP SALIX PROVIDES IS PRETTY POOR AND MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CONVENIENCE OF THE CUSTOMER EITHER OF PEOPLE WHO WORK. NOW WONDER SALIX NEEDS TO EMPLOY GIMMICKS AND TACTICS TO CARRY FAVOUR WITH CERTAIN GROUPS OF TENANTS. LITTLE DO THOSE TENANTS REALISE THAT ALL SALIX'S PROMISES WILL COME TO NOUGHT IF THEY GET A 'YES' MAJORITY. SALIX'S SERVICES TO TENANTS WILL DO NO BETTER THAT IT IS NOW, OR WORSE. ALL THE PROMISES INCLUDING THAT OF NO RENT INCREASES WILL BE NEGATED UNDER THE COVER OF CHANGES IN POLICY 'BEYOND THE CONTROL OF SALIX'. THE ONLY IMPROVEMENTS TO BE HAD WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE DECOR IN THE SALIX HQ. NO

396

NO COMMENT. TRANSFER IS NOT BAD. WE NEED WHO CAN DO OR TAKE CARE FOR OUR HOUSES. IN MY OPINION TRANSFER S GOOD. THANKS. YES

397

I PERSONALLY AM IN FAVOUR OF SALIX TAKING OVER FROM THE COUNCIL ESPECIALLY IF THERES MORE MONEY TO SPEND ON DOING THE FLATS UP. WE DESPERATELY NEED PROPER HEATING PUT IN FLATS AS THE STORAGE HEATERS ARE RUBBISH. THEY DON’T HEAT UP PROPERLY. YES

398THE RENT INCREASES SHOULD BE IN LINE WITH INFLATION NS

399

I THINK IT’S A GOOD MOVE IF THE LANDLORD TRANSFERS TO SALIX. SINCE THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT LET THE COUNCIL BORROW MONEY NEEDED FOR IMPROVEMENTS SALIX CAN GET LOANS FROM THE BANKS HOWEVER I FEEL RENTALS AND SERVICE DELIVERED SHOULD REMAIN FAVOURABLE. YES

400

I AM STILL WAITING FOR SALIX HOME TO DO BACK AND FRONT GARDEN AND I DON’T WHY I AM VOTE YES I WOULD POINT OUT THERE WAS INSPECTOR AT THIS ADDRESS ONE INSPECTOR HAD CAMERA AROUND HIS NECK. ONE OF THE OTHER INSPECTOR BATHROOM TILES IN THE BATHROOM NONE OF THE WORK BEING DONE. NS

401

I WAS A COUNCIL TENANT FOR YEARS AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE COUNCIL FOR GIVING ME THE HOUSE I AM IN NOW. I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA ON THE YES

31

PROPOSAL OF THE COUNCILS PROPSED TRANSFER TO SALIX HOMES WHO HAVE BEEN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB.

402

I DO AGREE TO TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF THE COUNCILS HOMES TO SALIX HOMES HOWEVER I WOULD RECOMMEND SALIX HOMES TO IMPROVE SERVICES FOR EXAMPLE FASTER RESPONSE TO THE REQUESTS. MUCH RESPECT TO THE TENANT. FINALLY I THINK IF SALIX HOME COULD IMPROVE ITS SERVICES AND STANDARD OF HOUSING THAT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER TO ALL TENANTS. THANKS YES

403

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SOME THINGS. NO COMMENT ALL THINGS ARE EXPLAIN, BUT THE PROBLEM IS YOU BRAKE SOME TENANT - WHY? WE BOUGHT THE FURNITURES IS DEPEND ON THE SPACE OF THE HOUSES WE GOT. BUT THE DIFFERENT HOUSE IS TOO SMALL LIKE THE NEW HOUSES. WE KNOW YOU COULD GIVE COMPENSATION BUT IS ENOUGH BECAUSE LOTOF PEOPLE WILL BE LOOSE THE FURNITURE AND THEY CANT BUY IT AGAIN BUT I CAN SAY NO CHOICE. THANKS. NS

404I FEEL IT’S A GREAT IDEA TO TRANSFER TO SALIX AS THEY HAVE A LOT TO OFFER. YES

405THE OFFER DOCUMENT EXPLAINS WHY THE COUNCIL HAS TO TRANSFER NS

406I LIKE SALIX HOMES AS WHEN YOU NEED THEM YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE. NS

407

SINCE SALIX TOOK OVER FROM THE COUNCIL THINGS WERE SEEN TO QUICKER TO THEREFORE PLEASE CARRY ON. THANK YOU NS

408 No comment NS

409

IM VOTING YES BECAUSE I HAVE A GREATER SAY ON WHERE MONEY IS SPENT AND LIKE YOU GUYS SAID IT WILL IMPROVE HOMES AND NEIGHBOURHOODS. YES

410

I HAVE LIVE ON POETS FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS OK! WE KNOW THAT THE HOUSE ARE CRAP BUT TO AS IT IS HOME BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD THE RENT FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS AND NOT SPENT ANY MONEY ON TENNYSON NS

411

I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME WE HAD OUR FRONT DOORS, BACK DOORS UPDATED AS DUCHY HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN A REVAMP AND WE AGAIN ARE STILL WAITING MY VIEWS ARE IT WOULD BE A GOOD MOVE TO TRANSFER IF FUNDING WOULD THEN BE GIVEN TO UPDATE THE PARKFIELD HOUSES IN THE STREET. YES

412

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE RIGHT TO BUY AND PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE DISCOUNT IF I WOULD HAVE IT ALSO WHEN AND IF SALIX BECOMES PRIVATE. NS

413

THE VOLUME OF INFORMATION GIVEN OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAS BEEN MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. NS

414

DOES THE SALIX HOMES BUSINESS PLAN ANTICIPATE CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR TENANTS WITH INCOMES BELOW A THRESHOLD? IF NOT DOES SALIX HOMES BUSINESS PLAN ANTICIPATE AN IMROVEMENT IN EMPLOYMENT FIGURES AND A RISE IN PROERTY VALUES OVER THE NEXT THRIRTY YEARS? NS

415WE DO NOT THINK IT WOULD MAKE ANY DIFFERENCES TO MY WIFE AND I WHAT WE VOTE FOR OR AGAINST NS

32

BECAUSE IT IS GOING OT TAKE 30 YEARS TO SORT ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS IT WILL NOT MATTER TO MY WIFE AND I WE CANNOT GET SALIX TO CUT A BRANCH DOWN OFF A TREE!

416

I THIINK THE COUNCIL PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, IT IS COMMON SENSE FOR THE TRANSFER TO GO THROUGH. YES

417

EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE SALIX IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO RUN. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH BUILDING DRAINS AND BURGLARIES ETC ETC ELECTRONIC DEVISES WERE USED TO TORTURE ME. PEOPLE WERE MOVED TO THE EMPTY FLATS ONLY TO UPSET ME. I WONDER IF THIS IS THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TORTURE ME NS

418I WOULD LIKE TO STAY WITH THE COUNCIL SO MY VOTE IS NO NO

419I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY BUT WOULD LIKE TO SATY WITH SALIX HOMES FROM THE COUNCIL YES

420 I THINK THIS IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY LETS DO IT. YES

*NS – not stated whether respondent supports or does not support the proposals
