AT a meeting in Leicester on Wednesday called by the Leicester Federation of Young Socialists, 60 tenants from Court Crescent Estate voted to form a tenants' association to fight 30 per cent rent increases proposed for November by the Labour council.
A lively discussion on the need to take the fight on to as many estates as possible and into union branches took place. A committee of Il was elected to cover the entire estate for a further meeting next week, to which the councillors will be invited.
This was the first of a series of tenants' meetings called on Leicester council estates by the YS.
It was agreed to work for an all-Leicester demonstration and meeting in September.
The tenants also supported a proposal to participate in the YS demonstration at the Labour Party Conference on September 26.
