LONDON, UK, December 05, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- BME specialist Croydon Peoples Housing Association has agreed to commence formal merger talks with Notting Hill Housing. If successful, CPHA will become part of the Notting Hill Group from 1 April 2009.
Akin Adepoju, Chair of CPHA, believes that the move will protect the association and enable it to grow "Being part of the Notting Hill Group will provide CPHA with a strong and professional base from which to improve its services and expand its delivery of new homes. In these difficult times, it is only through being part of a substantial group that we can provide the homes and services needed by our South London BME communities".
Kate Davies, Notting Hill's Chief Executive, said "this is a welcome decision and is part of Notting Hill's growth strategy to build a strong community-based South London subsidiary to deliver new homes and communities that work."
