@lambeth_council Thanks for getting it looked into.

@lambeth_council Who is the best person to contact to report your penalty charge notice website being broken?
Submitting a claim results in a blank page and an "internal server error" message.

[Alasdair Ross @londonskeptic]

@lambeth_council Do you have a contact email address for the parking team? The only relevant form on the link you sent is the "challenge a PCN" one...which is broken.

[Alasdair Ross @londonskeptic]

@lambeth_council Hi, it's not a problem with my browser. The IT team (or someone) needs to investigate the issue with the web service.
The "Internal Server Error" message specifically means it's a problem on your side.

[Lambeth Council @lambeth_council]

Thanks to everyone who came along to the inaugural meeting of the Resident Engagement Focus Group at the Town Hall last night. Lots of lively discussion along with specific examples of how we can continue to improve our services. 🔨🏠💡

A private tenant facing eviction, along with around 160 other households, has launched a high court claim against Lambeth Council.

Before #Lambeth go cap in hand to government for more money they might like to explain why they paid a firm of solicitors £13.5M in the last quarter out of the HRA account. The HRA is supposed to be used for looking after people's homes

We note that nowhere in the council papers does it mention how many millions the council has paid out in disrepair claims or how many millions the council has overpaid contractors

Lambeth Council's new top boss is set to be paid £230,000 per year — over £40,000 more than his drink-driving predecessor, Bayo Dosunmu. Ian Davis's six-digit salary is expected to be rubberstamped by councillors at a meeting next Wednesday.

💰STOP LOOTING LEASEHOLDERS💰

Our founder told @Keir_Starmer last night he must prioritise ending leasehold.

Let’s be honest, the announcement has fallen flat. Leasehold IS a cost of living emergency.

We don’t have 5 more years! Publish Draft Bill now. Enact in 2nd Session.

[Pete Elliott @pete556]

What is wrong with @lambeth_council there have been so many instances like this where lessons are never learned.

It's time @dannyadilypour and @clairekholland for you to come up with a strategy that address the myriad of housing issues or resign.

Another great report by @BBCLondonNews about out of control heating costs in Lambeth and Southwark.

There is zero cost control by @lambeth_council . My block was charged over £50K of gas for the heating system *just* for the period May-Oct (when radiators would have been off).

[LEAF TRA @leaftra]

Is the Lambeth Resident Assembly going ahead this Saturday @lambeth_council ? People we’ve spoken to who have registered have heard nothing.

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

Lambeth Council:

'The hole in my ceiling is so big you could jump through it - I've been waiting 2 years for repairs'

https://t.co/T0y0sXHioC

[Alasdair Ross @londonskeptic]

Such a heartbreaking story.

What disgraceful behaviour by @lambeth_council . Even worse is the pitiful response that they will only do "more works to fix the water" and not make any effort to rehouse them.

Councillors and council officers should be ashamed.

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

Please watch until the end 👇🏽

[Cllr Scott Ainslie 💚 @GreenPartyScott]

If you’d like to help @Lambethgp properly run Lambeth council with openness, transparency and accountability from the people you give your vote to, then DM me.

What is unacceptable is the denial of the investment committee and then this-redacted copies of the minutes from it!

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

Councils in London have warned they are on the brink of collapse, with further pressure from rising homelessness.

[Pete Elliott @pete556]

A 🧵 Clearly @lambeth_council wouldn't operate with a shadowy committee that the public, councillors, or the Freedom of Information team know nothing about.
Such a committee would be highly irregular so not surprising all knowledge is being denied.

[Alasdair Ross @londonskeptic]

It's no wonder @lambeth_council has no money for anything ☹️
What a waste!

[Robert Firth @robjfirth]

An office block that costs Lambeth Council hundreds of thousands each year to maintain has been lying mostly empty for five years.

@GreenPartyScott said the council needed to explain why the building has been left vacant for so long.
