A neighbour's chimney stack was badly damaged in the storms just after Christmas.I went round to tell them as I think they can't see from their garden. Their English was very limited so I talked to the letting agent for them but still nothing has been dome.

I think one more bad storm might bring the stack down

I don't know if I'm only poking my nose in, or if there's something more I can do to help

Has anyone any suggestions?

If the landlord is not available (this is a period when people are away) there is not a lot anyone can do about it; the tenant cannot instruct constructional works and if the letting agents are not also being paid to manage the tenancy their hands are tied as well. If the building is reported and declared unsafe then the tenants are homeless. Bit of a quandary.

    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
    • Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
