Speaking last week, Arbuckle said he floated the idea as part of his failed campaign for mayor after tenants from several council flats invited him to hear their maintenance issues. “To me, it was quite logical to have tenants willing to represent their complexes sitting on that sub-committee, hearing what was happening and raising their issues.” Minutes from the meeting show his request was recorded as an appeal for tenant representation on the Marlborough Housing Group, not the housing for seniors sub-committee. Arbuckle said the minutes should have said ‘sub-committee’.
