This report is a national embarrassment. Lambeth Labour have ignored years of warnings. That’s not incompetence — it’s contempt
I wonder how many complaints that were rejected or dismissed never made it into this report. These numbers are already alarming but they might just be the tip of the iceberg. #Lambeth #HousingCrisis
The latest local government ombudsman annual complaints report is out: lgo.org.uk/information-ce… Once again #Lambeth is in the top 10, up there with entire counties. Nearly half of complaints to Lambeth are about housing. @Kwajotweneboa
#Lambeth were warned multiple times that HFL would fail but chose to ignore this advice. There is ample evidence to show this. There is also ample evidence to show that Lambeth's policies over the years have helped to exacerbate the housing crisis. Happy to provide evidence.
It was a failure losing tax payers of Lambeth a shed load of money and denied Lambeth residents the council homes so desperately needed - just own the failure instead of the #blahblahblah everyone knows it was a disaster - maybe @PeoplesAudit could expand
