Another Tower Hamlets development caught up in the building safety and leasehold scandals. Freeholder: @PeabodyLDN. Builder: @Countryside_PS.

[Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp]

This makes very sober reading, although sad it doesn’t come as a shock. It’s all very well for @Ed_Miliband to go around saying all the new builds need to have solar panels but what about the government looking into the quality of new builds?

[Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp]

@glitteringmoss @Ed_Miliband The Government is just focused on building, the quality isn’t anywhere near enough of an issue.

[Cladding Victim  @LostInSW19]

This.

Just a sample of issues at our "award winning" @BarrattRedrow block of flats: missing cavity barriers, missing fire stopping, non IP-rated light fixtures, non compliant fire doors - and ACM cladding.

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

"The post-Grenfell building safety crisis uncovered fire safety flaws in high-rise blocks, landed leaseholders with life-ruining bills to fix them and stalled flat sales. Is the new-build betrayal Britain’s next housing time bomb?"

The Sun reports on service charges and secret insurance commission today.

Your landlord may inflated the cost of your flat insurance by up to 60%, potentially adding hundreds of pounds a year to your bills.

[Richmond House Residents @RH_residents]

A huge fire safety story here.

Hundreds of buildings were signed off as safe by an assessor who is now suspended. So are they safe or not?

Mortgage lenders have no confidence, so now thousands of people may be plunged back into the building safety crisis they had escaped 👇

[SHAC Action @ActionShac]

"Even if a case is won by a leaseholder, the FTT does not have the remit to enforce any financial redress and even if it did, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the landlord in future will learn from their misdeeds or sharp practices
... There is no real deterrent."

Well said!

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

Thank you @Uma_Kumaran, but we would be interested to learn what practical support @MayorofLondon @tomcopley feel able to offer going forward.

The mayor previously rejected a request to even provide a support hub with information for London victims.

[NLC - KATIE KENDRICK OBE - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER @NLC_2019]

Thankyou @mtpennycook for this much needed timeline.

The government’s published intention to “act as quickly as possible” will not be quick enough for many existing leaseholder trapped.

We appreciate the need to "balance speed with care" but our futures are in your hands.

[Free Leaseholders @FreeLeasehlders]

🥊LABOUR, DON’T YOU DARE!🥊

In the July King’s Speech, you promised to “act quickly” to switch on LAFRA 2024. You’ve done nothing.

You promised a draft Commonhold Bill this year, to end leasehold and fleecehold for good. You’ve produced nothing. (1/5)

@Keir_Starmer, @RachelReevesMP, @AngelaRayner and @mtpennycook you promised an end to leasehold and fleecehold. More reform won’t do. Act now! (5/5)

Government and developer delays continue to have serious mental and physical health impacts on residents trapped in homes with life threatening fire safety defects.
Thanks to @SarahCorkerNews for her latest report. ⬇️ https://t.co/7MsRRLHSc2

[Rituparna @ritustweets]

Finally a report which clearly lays out how @mhclg policies have destroyed the lives & finances of leaseholders. This is thanks to MHCLG's cover up of their role in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis & the failure of govts to #AbolishLeasehold as they are beholden to freeholder donors.

[Dan Bruce @dannybster]

Will @UKLabour now treat build quality and safety as a matter of urgency @angelarayner?

It’s taken two fires to have you talk about it.

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

"Build 1.5 million new homes."Most will be built by the construction industry that caused the #BuildingSafetyCrisis.
@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @AngelaRayner & @YvetteCooperMP are putting billions into the pockets of these companies as they refuse to fix death traps they built

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

2/2 You should be available at fairly short notice during the day, until 4 Sept.
There is a small window when the media is interested in our plight, & now is your chance to get your voice heard.
Pls share this with everyone affected.

1/2 If you're in a building with fire safety issues and would like to speak to the press, pls get in touch at [email protected].
You must know about the broad issues in your building, what the current situation is,& be willing to get in front of a camera.
