Welcome to the Plymouth Federation of Tenants & Residents Associations
The Plymouth Federation of Tenants And Residents Associations (PETRA) is a democratically controlled membership organisation.

ImageOur main aims are to support the development of individual tenants and residents associations and to provide a representative voice on behalf of the city’s council tenants.
This website will provide information on: who we are; what we do; how we can help; how you can get involved; and the latest news and views on the issues most affecting tenants and leaseholders.

Stock Transfer Opinion Poll
Should the Housing Department stay within the Council, or should it become an independent housing association? That seems to be the choice that will now face Plymouth’s Council tenants.
 
The final decision will be made following the outcome of a vote by all tenants in a stock transfer ballot, expected to take place in the autumn of 2008. 

In the run up to the ballot we are offering you the chance to make your views known via our website poll. The aim of the poll is to track opinion and see how it changes as the consultation exercise begins to have an impact.

So our poll does not restrict you to the one vote. Should your views change, in the light of the information you receive, then you can vote again at a later stage (allow at least 3 months).

Please note: this is just an opinion poll and is not in any way linked to voting in the stock transfer ballot itself.
 

Did You Know?

Before the Pilgrims hired her, the Mayflower, a merchant vessel, was in the wine trade with France, and, before that, in the fish trade with Norway.

The Pilgrims did not happen upon an unknown frontier. The waters off New England were fished by the English for at least 100 years before the Pilgrims landed.

The Pilgrims did not name Plymouth, New England. Captain John Smith explored the New England coast in 1614 and gave his map to Prince Charles (who later became King Charles). Charles put English names on the map, such as Plymouth and the Charles River.

The turkey, native to the Americas, was a familiar barnyard fowl in England brought to Europe 100 years earlier by the Spanish.
