This is the Web Site of the Tenants of the historic Octavia Hill Estate parts of which were established as affordable working class accommodation over 100 years ago. The Estate was sold by the Church Commissioners in 2005 & 2006 to the highest bidder despite opposition by Tenants,Politicians,Councillors ,members of the Clergy, and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The tenants had insisted that if the sale was to proceed that it must be to a Registered Social Landlord and presented to the Church Commissioners Petitions signed by 97% Tenants who were opposed to the sale. The Church Commissioners decided to ignore this petition as irrelevant and proceeded to sell to a Partnership of Private/Social Landlord..
We hope that this Web site will be a place where Tenants can go to exchange ideas, be kept advised and to keep alive the community spirit that has existed so well over the years and we welcome your ideas for items to include and improvements that can be made to the site.
