The draft constitution provides for 1 vote per household for all leaseholders of Islington Council. Elections every 2 years to select a managment committee. A management Committee of 12 elected Directors. 3 open meetings a year. The right to speak at any meeting at the discretion of the Chair. view the draft constitution Ballot FAQs The steering committee produced a set of FAQs (frequently asked questions) to help leaseholders decide whether they would endorse an Independent ILA funded by leaseholders. view the FAQs Draft Budget The steering committee has also agreed an outline budget. This is very much a first draft but we need to have some idea of what we can afford and what services we can reasonably provide. The Management Committee will obviously decide on a final budget once it knows what funds are available. The outline budget has been drawn up using a model suggested by the Islington Voluntary Action Council. The outline budget provides for 2 full time staff. £80,000 a year for professional advice from surveyors and lawyers. 3 editions a year of a leaseholders newsletter. A proper office and resource centre. view the outline budget
