Allocation of Trust Homes in Pirie
At Pirie Town Council meeting in April members criticized housing allocation by the local Trust. A strong protest letter was to be sent, while the Trust’s general manager Mr. A Symons defended the method, citing slow construction and multiple factors in tenant selection. The council discussion noted suspicions of unfairness though the Trust argued it acts impartially and considers need, service in the fighting forces, and other impacts. The letter was received without comment.
