DURING the General Election campaign, the Labour Party made great play about offering "choice".
Because of the Labour Government restriction on councils' borrowing for housing - as with the private finance initiative to keep it off the public sector borrowing requirement - Selby District Council is offering its council tenants a choice.
It is a choice between voting to transfer to a housing association and having their home brought up to a reasonable standard, or staying with the council and not having them brought up to a reasonable standard.
That is what Labour means by choice.
