I rise to present this petition to reflect concerns raised with me on behalf of Kytes Drive residents. Given the substantial regeneration project on the Kytes Drive estate in Watford, residents request that Anchor Hanover reintroduce the previous covenant to provide a legally binding reassurance to ensure that veterans will continue to be housed in the new homes; and that it extend this to provide protections to those with disabilities and to the elderly.
The petition states:
“The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to encourage Anchor Hanover to engage with the council and include a legally binding agreement that the Kytes Estate includes purpose-built and well-maintained accommodation to house people over the age of 55, those with disabilities, and veterans and their families.
And the petitioners remain, etc.”
Following is the full text of the petition:
[The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that the protection to house veterans with disabilities at Kytes Drive has been removed; further that a legally binding covenant should be included into the Kytes Regeneration Project to ensure that new homes to be built will continue to only house veterans, those with disability and the elderly, and their families.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to encourage Anchor Hanover to engage with the Council and include a legally binding agreement ensuring that Kytes Estate includes purpose-built and well-maintained rented accommodation to house people over the age of 55, those with disabilities, and veterans, and their families.
And the petitioners remain, etc.]
