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

    • I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
    • Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people. 
    • What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
    • Have used Turners in Barry Road for a number of years since the retirement of Andrew Brock.
