520 _aDiscusses the housing role of councils in the light of DETR plans for social housing stock transfers. Argues that confusion resides among local government, with differing opinions on whether councils should give up their housing management role. Presents the situation in Scotland where councils have readily adopted a strategic role, and accept that stock transfer is necessary to counter repair backlogs. Discusses the impact of the housing green paper and spending review on council housing, and suggests that housing associations or local companies are likely to take over ownership, leaving councils free to re-evaluate their role.
