This is unacceptable @MayorofLondon. Address the crisis that you are selling London off to private investment and and encouraging leasehold costs which are wholly unreasonable. Its not a housing crisis. Its a mayoral crisis.

This is what resident power looks like. Save Footpath 47. We do not need BRL to change this unique wildlife space, and we need assurances this will not happen. @barkingriver @lbbdcouncil @MayorofLondon. What do you have to say?

Could this be the end of Footpath 47!? "Following completion of the works and subject to the necessary approvals, Footpath 47 will be diverted back along the foreshore" Only if the necessary approvals go through.

If you can’t maintain your housing stock to a safe, liveable standard, it should be confiscated. After the 2008 financial crisis, the banks were made to prioritise the wider society and economy by regulations - with huge fines if they failed to do so. We need the same now in
The Housing Ombudsman today has reported nearly a 500% increase in complaints from social housing residents about substandard living conditions. Is the Government doing enough?

The view from the otherside of the Footpath. How long will the Footpath remain as a green open space? The Footpath is currently being diverted. Shout us out in case you want to keep it the same.

Looks like residents in the £500m Gascoigne regeneration are set for another summer of garbage lined streets due to @lbbdcouncil incompetence. As the underground bin system *still* can’t be regularly collected, industrial bins are scattered around the streets and overflowing.
