No one should have to live in these conditions nor endure this upheaval. Home is the foundation and centre of our lives, home must be hazard free. Mould causes illness, leaks cause electrical fires, wet floors cause falls; these homes are no longer safe and must be repaired urgently @chtra.org.uk

Thanks so much to Antoine Allen and his team for coming to speak with us. This is just a short segment and interviews with a couple of the tenants and residents, but there are so many more stories to tell.

Another busy day meeting @lewis-sjl.bsky.social from @anthonygoldlaw.bsky.social, our fire and structural engineers, Alicia and Sean, so many neighbours from our building and others on the estate, and all filmed by Antoine Allen and team from ITV London for tomorrow’s news. We'll sleep well! 😴

‘Home’ should be our safe place, where we relax after a long day, recuperate when we’re ill and where we relish precious moments with loved ones. Home should not be the cause of stress, the reason for illness and keep our loved ones away. Kudos to @chtra.org.uk for fighting back

Disabled and elderly people are facing lengthy waits for simple changes to make their homes safer. This includes renter Sam who's spent four years showering at the gym because her bathrooms haven't met her needs. She's also sustained injuries from falls. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At the HLPA conference today and I think @mikey-the-geek.bsky.social rant on landlords telling tenants to open windows should be recorded and sent to all landlords as a meme
