The Welsh Tenants Federation were sad to hear of the death of Chairman Alan Walter of Defend Council Housing. Alan died suddenly from a suspected massive heart attack at his home on Saturday 7th March. As a council tenant of Camden he was at the beginning of the DFH campaign when labour came to power in 1997. Alan argued passionately for direct investment in council housing and was an inspirational advocate for many who warmed to his dedication and enthusiasm for his cause. Alan leaves a family, and many friends and colleagues who will miss him deeply.
