Where is the housing cash?

• I and thousands of other council estate residents protested outside Parliament last week for a fair deal on council housing. Here in Camden money is desperately needed to improve the quality of the estates and the government is still sitting on £283 million it promised us two years ago.
After the council’s plan for an arms-length management organisation (Almo) fell apart their allies in Westminster went into a sulk and refused to hand over the cash.
Everyone who lives on a Camden estate knows how much the money is needed and the government admitted this when they set it aside in the first place. If they had the money to give us then they must have it now so why won’t they hand it over? And why, if we have a Labour council and a Labour government, is it left to housing campaigners – including Camden’s Liberal Democrats – to demand our money back?
