I’m being told that Barking and Dagenham Council are charging ex right to buy leaseholders in Thames View £4,000 a year in reserve fund contributions on 1 bedroom low rise flats. They also have no proof that funds are being placed into a ring-fenced account. Anyone know what I can suggest to

Have been a big fan of createstreets for a while now. They highlight how brilliant development can be when done right - as opposed to on the cheap & without care.

“The RSH concluded that LB Barking and Dagenham ‘did not have an effective system in place to allow it to meet its statutory health and safety responsibilities’.” Says it all.

Around 5% of Barking and Dagenham Council’s purpose built affordable rental stock is available. Perhaps they could be housed there by the borough, with the building insurance covering the cost of lost rent for the council? We can’t allow the victims of this tragic fire to be made homeless on

Following an FOI request I have ascertained that Barking and Dagenham Council have approx 74 apartments in the borough available for rent via BD Reside. These units could be provided by the council to those displaced by the Dagenham fire, with the costs covered by the building insurance of the

When can we expect to have the tickets bought by scalpers now selling for £8,000 cancelled? It was very clear, you can’t sell for more than face value or they’ll be cancelled.

Also, I do hope when the government appoints the chief construction advisor the Grenfell report has recommended, it picks someone who has some track record of actually standing up for change and not just a robotic industry lackey for hire

For the last few months the developer building a block of flats opposite our home have started earlier than permitted sometimes just after 7am and ended after they were permitted, (today 6:50pm) We have complained to the council who do nothing about it & now, it appears they are

Shared ownership is a con. Calling it affordable housing is one of the most misleading consumer statements of all time. You pay all the costs, all the maintenance (including on the share you *don’t* own) If it sells for less than expected when you leave, all of the

This statement by Keir Starmer is monumental. Ending leasehold will be remembered as one of the biggest accomplishments The Labour Party have achieved in office. Millions of leaseholders, freed from servitude & serfdom, enfranchised to govern their own homes. Meaningful change

I have informed the Barking Labour Party that I wish to considered as a candidate for the 2026 local elections. If selected as a candidate I will look to build on the extensive work I have already delivered on housing, regeneration & core services. I care deeply about our

Beam Park needs a dedicated station, huge volume of homes being built with a pitifully low amount of social infrastructure. Margaret Mullane MP is absolutely right to be pushing for this. As we build more homes we must scale up our services alongside them. The area also needs

Pot. Kettle. Black. Barking and Dagenham Council ignored me, our MP, scores of residents & all the evidence when it came to the serious defects with our balconies, on a building for which they were the freeholder. They even referred to me internally as a liar. Then a balcony collapsed 4

Reminder - the head of the department responsible for housing at the council has not yet met us once, or even emailed us since our balcony collapse in November last year. She is also the officer that claimed I had been spreading disinformation about the balconies being unsafe.
