The TRA visited the councillor surgery held at Barons Court library. We spoke to newly elected Councillor for Avonmore and Brook Green ward, Joe Carlebach, about some of our concerns.
First up the good news, we asked him about the rumour that the Lytton Estate was part of the present councils redevelopment plans. He said that we were not included in these plans and that the Lytton was a good estate, so there wasn't a need to change it.
We then moved on to the problems residents are experiencing with H&F Homes, which covers a whole host of issues: slow or non-response from council office, repairs not being done, reporting those repairs, to issues with Lovell, the Decent Homes builder (difficulties reaching and communicating with Lovell, severe delays and lack of information). He told us that he had already passed on the last committee meeting minutes, of the Lytton TRA, to Nick Johnson, the Chief Executive of H&F Homes and understood our worries.
With the slightly separate issue of diminishing caretaker staffing numbers, see previous minute, he was concerned and going to look into it.
Some problems of the Grange regarding security and lasting repairs to access doors as well the condition of the outside sheds were discussed. He said he would try to get the work finished and the security tightened up as soon as possible.
Lastly, another piece of good news, he hoped to attend the opening of the soon to be completed Pelham play area.
The surgery is held at Barons Court library, for one hour from 10 am, every first Saturday of the month. All residents with issues or problems concerning them or the wider community should attend. It is a good forum to raise your concerns.
