More than 5,000 tenants will be rightly concerned at what is going on at William Sutton housing association.

Before the merger between Ridgehill and William Sutton, some tenants expressed concern that their voices would not be heard in such a large organisation. Now, even those in senior management are saying their opinions are being crushed.

The organisation insists that services are not deteriorating. If this is not the case, then it's up to the remaining board members, shareholders and tenants to speak out - and they should be allowed to without fear of retribution.
