    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2020
    According to a recent MHCLG report, there are 251 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings identified with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations in London, 72 in Greater Manchester and 137 in the Rest of England. Remediation is complete for 78 buildings in London (31% of all buildings identified in the capital), 38 buildings in Greater Manchester (53%), and 86 buildings in the Rest of England (63%). Do you share my serious concerns that London is significantly behind the rest of the country in terms of the remediation of Grenfell-style ACM cladding remediation works, and how are you...

  • Letting of Shared Ownership Properties that are Awaiting an EWS1 Assessment

    • Reference: 2020/4286
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2020
    Some housing associations are allowing flexibility so that shared owners can let out their property while the building is awaiting an EWS1 assessment as owners are currently unable to sell them without such an assessment. What is your position on this, and if you support this will you be encouraging all housing associations to offer the same degree of flexibility to shared owners in such situations?

  • Retention of Social Housing Stock

    • Reference: 2020/4287
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2020
    Will you consider making it a grant condition of receiving Approved Provider and Strategic Partner status during the 2021-26 Affordable Housing Programme that associations should follow the National Housing Federation’s recommendation of only selling social rent voids at Existing Use Value Social Housing to councils or other providers, to retain social rent stock; reduce homelessness, and boroughs’ cost for temporary accommodation?

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

  • Supporting Noel Park Leaseholders

    • Reference: 2020/4291
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2020
    You will be aware that many leaseholders in Haringey’s Noel Park have recently received Section 20 Notices requiring them to pay extortionate bills, often exceeding £100,000, for replacing pod bathrooms. Leaseholders do not object to the works, but the sums they are being asked to pay are significantly higher than those the Council had quoted them previously. Additionally, Haringey Council’s proposed repayment plan would see some leaseholders paying over £3,000 a month in repayments. Will you raise this directly with Haringey Council and speak to those affected to try and find an urgent resolution for residents?
