Southwark Labour have blocked the Liberal Democrats’ calling of an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council to address “Serious Failings” found by an independent housing watchdog.
The Liberal Democrats have written directly to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government, Angela Rayner, to urge for intervention after the Regulator of Social Housing found “serious failings”
An official survey taken by social housing providers has revealed that most Southwark tenants do not feel that the council “listens to their views and acts upon them”.
The Liberal Democrats have today formally requested that an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council be called by the Mayor, to address the “Serious Failures” identified by the Government’s independent Regulator of Social Housing.
A dangerous crossing on Borough High Street that has led to near misses will now been upgraded and made safer thanks to intervention from local Liberal Democrat Cllr Victor Chamberlain.
The Government’s Regulator of Social Housing has today released an explosive report into Southwark’s Housing conditions, saying that it has found “serious failings”.
