@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.
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.
@TowerHamletsNow 7. Please identify the senior Council officer responsible for ensuring that the Council's position is appropriately recorded and monitored.
Any journalists covering housing or Tower Hamlets willing to investigate the ongoing issues at Burdett Estate and @HarcaPoplar? Residents want answers. Please get in touch. #BurdettEstate#SocialHousing#TowerHamlets
🚨 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?
Photo taken today.
🚨 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!

@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.
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.
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
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.
@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
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.
