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.

    • Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.
    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
