Arun District Council is considering handing over its housing stock to private companies.

A series of roadshows informing tenants about possible changes to social housing management will be held in January next year.

The tenants will be asked their opinion on four different ways in which their homes could be managed:

Keeping the housing in council ownership, maintaining the current level of spending on the properties
Setting up a management organisation with more spending powers
Transferring ownership to a social landlord or housing association
Making use of a private finance initiative.

A newsletter detailing the full process and timetable will also be sent out in January.
