Alun Hughes of Wirral Methodist Housing Association rightly applauds the 40 years’ service of board member Constance Harvey (1 October, page 24).
However, he doesn’t mention that under the new National Housing Federation code of governance she would have been shown the door 31 years ago. It is a shame the new code may result in long-serving board members feeling like unwelcome dinosaurs. We all support board renewal, but continuity has its value too.
