A social housing association attempting to evict a Kingston commune has been condemned by another London council for allegedly failing to fulfil its housing promises.

Tower Hamlets Council unanimously called for the "immediate suspension" of One Housing Group (OHG) as one of the borough’s housing association partners and demanded the company be referred to Government regulator Homes and Communities Agency for investigation.

It is also seeking a meeting with housing minister Brandon Lewis to explain their problems with the group.

In a council meeting earlier this month Kingston Council leader Kevin Davis also criticised OHG for trying to "bully" the 37-year-old Crescent Road Community out of three connected houses in Coombe Hill.

He said that if OHG’s tactics continued then its social homebuilding relationship with the council "would be threatened".

One Housing argue that they have to repossess the community’s home as they are bound to build more homes and house the most vulnerable.

In a Twitter spat earlier this month the group responded to a petition set up by the commune by tweeting: "Take a stand! Sign the petition if you think fairness and giving homes to the most needy suck."

OHG have actioned legal proceedings against the commune members who will now have to fight their case in court on September 8.

The furore in Tower Hamlets relates to the apparent mismanagement of a four-estate development in the Isle of Dogs where OHG own 2,027 homes.

Under OHG redevelopment plans, known as Project Stone, the estates would be knocked down and replaced with 8,906 new homes.

But Tower Hamlets councillors are "seething" that just 30 per cent of the new homes will be affordable with the further 70 per cent being sold off to private investors.

They argue it is "unacceptable" for a social housing company to do this, particularly in one of London's poorest east end boroughs.

Tower Hamlets Conservative Group leader councillor Peter Golds, said: "OHG have shown themselves to be very secretive in relation to Project Stone and brutally ruthless with residents on the Isle of Dogs.

"We are going to raise our concerns with the Greater London Authority and the Government. The council are unanimously seething about this."

OHG said in a statement: "We are aware of the concerns expressed by council leaders and are keen to address some apparent misunderstandings about our work in the borough and our future development plans locally."
