Letters criticising the council have been sent to all tenants and leaseholders in Basildon District.

The five tenant management boards have each composed a letter to explain why consultation with the council has broken down and why they rejected the Tenants' Compact - the document setting out what tenants can discuss and how.

One complaint is that only housing issues could be discussed.
