This petition under the official UK Government and Parliament procedure is now closed, after running for six months.

We believe Armed Forces families are consistently let down by the service providers that are supposed to maintain Service Family Accommodation (SFA). We want the Government to review and enhance the rights of SFA tenants, so they have at least the same rights as private tenants.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is responsible for holding service providers to account, but the families living in this accommodation often struggle to have issues with accommodation resolved. We want the Government to review the existing rights of SFA tenants, and ensure they have the legal right to personally hold providers to account where they neglect their responsibilities, just like a private tenant would.

At 10,000 signatures, government will respond to this petition. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.

This is not a BAFF initiative, but has been recommended by a BAFF member and will be of interest to some members and supporters. Easy signature at the parliament link below. The final deadline is 31 July 2023.
