@TowerHamletsNow 8. Please confirm what escalation arrangements exist between Tower Hamlets Council and Registered Social Landlords where residents report a potentially serious and persistent fire-safety concern which they believe has not been adequately resolved.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

We wrote to @TowerHamletsNow Chief Executive, Corporate Director of Housing and Regeneration, and Head of Internal Audit, Anti-Fraud & Risk,

And asked the Council to establish:

1. Whether it is aware of the fire-safety concerns repeatedly raised by Burdett Estate residents.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@TowerHamletsNow 7. Please identify the senior Council officer responsible for ensuring that the Council's position is appropriately recorded and monitored.

🚨 Signage has been sprayed, and access continues to remain blocked. @HarcaPoplar

@LETTA_Trust are you concerned about your students as much as we are as residents?

🚨 TOWER HAMLETS’ NEXT GRENFELL?

Residents on the Burdett Estate have been warning about fire-safety concerns for four years. *(বারডেট এস্টেটের বাসিন্দারা চার বছর ধরে আগুনের নিরাপত্তা নিয়ে উদ্বেগের কথা জানিয়ে আসছেন।)*
@PuruMiah Thank you!

@PuruMiah @ApsanaBegumMP @LutfurRahmanTH @HarcaPoplar @TowerHamletsNow

Residents will not forget your silence!

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@HarcaPoplar You'll notice the same emergency access fire brigade could not get through is still blocked. Commercial vehicles and none residents abusing the poor management on the estate.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

Residents pls help report any damaged, missing or vandalised signage as soon as possible. There have been repeated incidents of damage, and prompt reporting will help @HarcaPoplar identify where and when problems are occurring & hold them accountable.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

PCM contractors washing sprayed parking signs and ticketing illegally parked cars this morning, a welcome sight. But what about the unregistered dumped car that’s been left on the estate? @HarcaPoplar, will this be investigated and removed? #BurdettEstate #ParkingEnforcement

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

Burdett Estate is becoming a dumping ground for broken & unused vehicles, with cars reportedly being stripped for parts & used as an unauthorised towing/storage location. @HarcaPoplar needs to explain what action is being taken. Residents deserve a safe, managed estate.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@LETTA_Trust Stebon Primary School is located within Burdett Estate, where residents have repeatedly raised concerns about blocked parking and emergency access. This is a safety issue that cannot be ignored. Please support residents calling for urgent action. #EmergencyAccess

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@HarcaPoplar @TowerHamletsNow BBCA Masjid is located inside the estate and is at great risk because of the access issues.

Enough is enough!.

Burdett wants Action!
@LutfurRahmanTH @ApsanaBegumMP

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

BBCA Masjid is taking positive action over ongoing parking and emergency-access problems on #BurdettEstate. It serves residents daily, including children, elderly & disabled people. Residents are encouraged to sign the petition calling on @HarcaPoplar & @TowerHamletsNow to act.
