Cllr Dominic Muns has said the timing of the Hedges House closure decision was tactless given lockdown Just ten people remain at the Hedges Houses housing complex in West Lavington as the housing association behind the decision to close it down scopes out planning opportunities for the site. Dominic Muns, councillor for the Lavingtons, said he hoped Wiltshire Council can be encouraged to hold housing associations to account and make a change in policy, to ensure people are guaranteed a proper future in their homes. “The residents of Hedges House have been left in an awful situation,” he said. “It’s similar to what has happened at Furlong Close. People have assumed they would be able to spend their entire lives here, only to have the rug pulled out beneath them. This goes beyond Hedges House, it’s happening all over. What I do hope is that there is soon some sort of proper look at policy and the relationships local authorities have with housing associations.”
