@HydeHousing @EmilyThornberry Hi. They’ve all been logged correctly by more than 8 flats in our building. First was logged 6 December (>40 days ago). No answer. When will we get a reply? It’s costing some residents £200+ more per month (2x last year). Must be an error.

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

It really is never ending with @HydeHousing . Many residents have queried service charges (from c.£170pcm to c£400+pcm) due to fire related line items (shouldn’t be charged for!). No response… when will we get an answer?! @EmilyThornberry

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

So, @Switch2support : “we have successfully restored heat to the scheme…customers who are still experiencing supply issues need to call us so help can be arranged.” Us: Still no supply, 📞 Switch2, told someone would 📞 us, heard nothing since… @EmilyThornberry @HydeHousing

[St Mary’s & St James’ Lib Dems @StMandStJLibDem]

@HydeHousing this is becoming a total joke now, action needed NOW, these residents have suffered enough

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

…. Now told there is an underground leak that needs repairing and once more no ETA of when supply is coming back… this is a farce. When will we get hot water and heating? 6 weeks with no supply for some residents! @HydeHousing @EmilyThornberry @Switch2support

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

No hot water or heating since xmas day on our estate (which has >400 residents). Told a new lie everyday about the latest status (new part needed, air in system, it’s back on, oh wait another part needed). When is supply coming back?! @Switch2support @HydeHousing

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

@HydeHousing @HydeHousing It hasn’t returned … is there an update please? It isn’t acceptable to have no running water for a day and not have any updates on what is going on

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

@HydeHousing we have been without water (no hot or cold) for hours now (500+ properties, >8 blocks). On hold for 1 hour to emergency repairs line - no answer. Please assist.

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

@HydeHousing Thank you, Hollie

With the deadline having passed, I hope Michael Gove will come to the despatch box today and tell us which developers signed the remediation contract and what the consequences will be for any that refused to do so.

[Reece Lipman @Reecelipman]

Leaseholders! It is time to get out there and tell your story to the press! So, I have written a guest blog for @EOCS_Official with some handy tips to hopefully make media interviews less scary and get the results we all need.

This is a big moment for the Grenfell families and >4m affected by the fallout: Michael Gove admits the government shares the blame for #Grenfell and the building safety scandal it exposed - My p1 with @HarryYorke1 🧵https://t.co/wIGQVZ6RAP

@StevenTrangmar @RICSnews @esurv @HomesEngland @EOCS_Official No changes to their policy i’m afraid (no surprises there!)

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

You know it’s bad when you 📞 the company listed as a contributor to the new @RICSnews guidance (@esurv) re a @homesengland H2B valuation and they tell you they won’t value the property without an EWS1, even though the guidance THEY wrote says it isn’t needed… 🧐🤨@EOCS_Official

[Packington Estate Action Group @N1Cladding]

(For context we know what the defects are, have confirmation we aren’t paying, and should have a signed works agreement in 2-4 weeks with works starting in 6-8 weeks…)

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

.@ftfinancenews - Owners of flats are unable to trade up due to @luhc & @Conservatives govt's disastrous handling of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis for 5.5 yrs.
They've deliberately crashed flat values to £0 & made them unmortgageable& unsellable.
Stopping a generation from trading up

Are you suddenly having to repay your Help to Buy loan on top of your mortgages because your initial five-year period is over? I'd really love to hear from you.
