Sadiq Khan<\/a> to include this commitment in his final Good Practice Guide, urging him to make London a place where neighbourhoods are designed to answer communities\u2019 needs.<\/p>\nSian Berry AM, who proposed the motion, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Assembly has called today for something all estate residents should have: a final say on what will happen to their homes and communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFull consultation is vital and a ballot over any major plan to remodel their estates is the only way to make sure councils and housing associations don\u2019t fudge these processes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mayor\u2019s commitment that \u2018estate regeneration only takes place where there is resident support, based on full and transparent consultation\u2019 was clear and we are calling now for him to keep his promise to Londoners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tom Copley AM, who seconded the motion, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pleased that the Mayor is insisting that there must be no net loss of social housing on estate regeneration schemes in his draft Good Practice Guide. However, I want him to go further by including ballots of residents whose homes face demolition. Balloting is a vital way of ensuring residents have a meaningful say over future plans for their homes and is the best way to ensure a regeneration scheme has legitimacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever demolition is an option, there must be a commitment to balloting residents, particularly where a sizeable number of residents have made a request for a ballot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough his Good Practice Guide, we now want to see the Mayor working with community groups to develop detailed guidance about a host of issues, such as when ballots take place, who participates and how differences in opinions between residents may be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n
