Hello fellow ED forum members,


I was wondering if anyone knows the time frames of housing repair jobs the local council is responsible for? I have found a list of repairs the council is responsible for. namely:


We're responsible for repairs to the structure, exterior and essential services to your home. These include:


roofs

foundations

external doors, walls and windows

drains, gutters and outside pipes

chimneys and stacks (you're responsible for sweeping chimneys)

brickworks

major plastering repairs

floors and ceilings

installations for water, electricity and gas (including wiring, sockets, fittings, internal pipes and valves)


Can anyone kindly help?

I can?t see time frames offered to the public but there do seem to be some in the Service

Level Agreement with Southwark Building Services, see page 7 of this scrutiny commission report from Feb 2020

Looks as though the repair service

has been problematic for some time, hence bringing it in house in 2018. An improvement plan was published in March 2020 with a proposed way forward

Recent report on performance at https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s106084/Report%20Repairs%20Performance%20Report%20to%20Housing%20and%20Community%20Engagement%20Scrutiny%20Commission.pdf


ETA there?s a further improvement plan due for approval in June this year

    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
    • Hi message me if you have any bits whatever they may be thanks
