Tenants evicted

The request was successful.

Dear Slough Borough Council,

How many tenants have been evicted from council housing in the last 5 years?

I would like this information broken down on a monthly basis, with reason for eviction.
For example:
Non payment of rent
Antisocial Behavior
etc

And councils plan for those being evicted with no where else to go.

Yours faithfully,
Bill

Would have been interesting to see how many of the tenants that were evicted for non payment of rent were evicted because Slough Borough Council stopped their Housing benefit payment, and of those how many of those were in error... I also note reason ‘other’ sounds extremely vague - why not list the actual reasons ??

German company Arvato, in the Farnham Road, on the south side of the railway bridge, does all the benefits. They are in a continual mess - and the council ignores the problems - getting benefits wrong, stopping payments and ignoring emails and letters from the public (their victims).

Labour who run the show just don't care about the public's suffering.
