It was a privilege to be at this event. The racist murder of Kelso Cochrane remains a shocking stain on @rbkc’s history. I’m proud that we have at least been able to honour his memory. Huge congratulations to the colleagues who made these homes, and this event, happen.
The award-winning Kelso Cochrane House, in north Kensington, which offers the first Council-built homes in decades, was officially opened by councillors, members of Kelso’s family and community campaigners this week. The development is named in memory of Kelso Cochrane whose

Downsizing can be a win-win: a more manageable home for the downsizing resident, and a larger home released for a family who desperately needs it. The downsizing household stays in control, with support from our @rbkc team to make things work smoothly.

Every new social rent home is precious. For eleven households on our register, a safe, secure, affordable home is coming soon.
Look out for our 11 new social rent homes being built by the Council at Silchester Arches in North Kensington. They’re due to be finished by the end of this year, and we’re about half-way through construction. The homes will include thermally efficient windows and doors, and

Domestic abuse can take many forms including: * Physical or sexual abuse * Coercive and controlling behaviour * So-called 'honour-based' violence * Stalking * Financial abuse For more information on how our our Housing team are trained to help, our new policy, or to

Social housing in @RBKC is one of our most precious resources. This work is essential if we want it to be fairly used. Tenancy fraud is a crime that most hurts those in greatest need of a home.
Tenancy fraud deprives people in need of homes. We’re taking action and recovering homes for families that need them – 41 in 18 months! Read more at: https://t.co/7dptgchHna

Beautiful new homes in North Kensington, beautifully opened by the kids of @primary_barlby! Very proud of the @RBKC team that made this happen.
We’re at the opening of Hewer Street new homes celebrating our key workers who are moving into these brand-new homes in the heart of the communities they serve. Thank you to @primary_barlby pupils for producing this fantastic piece of artwork which recognises our key workers.
