Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust
- Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust
Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust is a government scheme, set up under the Housing Act 1988, established Housing Action Trusts (HATs) to redevelopment some urban council housing estates.
Councils would transfer their stock to them, and the (locally elected) board would run the refurbishment and management. The inspiration for this was similar to Grant Maintained Schools - that estates, dissatisfied with years of neglect by the Council, would 'opt out' of Council control.
As it was, only a handfull of estates transferred. One of these covered a proportion of the high rise stock of Waltham Forest Council agreed accordingly to transfer some of their stock to the HAT. These four large high-rises estates of Oliver Close and Cathall Road in Leyton and Boundary Road and Chingford Hall in Walthamstow, East London were demolished, and replaced with modern low-rise housing. Housing Action Trusts also demolished and redeveloped the Stonebridge Estate and South Kilburn estate in Brent, North West London and the Montieth, Tredegar and Lefyvre estates in the Bow area of Tower Hamlets in East London, as well as areas of North Hull in Hull and Castle Vale in Birmingham.
