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


https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s88147/Appendix%201%20Housing%20Repairs%20Service%20Scrutiny%20Report%202020.pdf


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

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

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
