Incredible double standards from #Lambeth They spend years telling residents that the Trinity Rise development isn't part of the estate and that they have no say. Now they are expecting Cressingham TMO to manage Trinity Rise homes when they are finished! moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieDecisionDeta…

Tucked away in a very poorly worded report is the fact that #Lambeth has applied to central government for a £40M bail out in order to avoid the HRA from going bust: moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieListDocument… Of course they blame it all on previous government JA Cobb Robert Firth The Log Lady

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 🐍 JA Cobb The Log Lady

Dear Regulator of Social Housing Can you please explain how it is that you gave #Lambeth a C2 rating less than 2 months ago, even though it has now applied for a £40M bailout from central government to avoid HRA going bust? Save Cressingham Save Central Hill DemolitionWatchLdn💙 The Log Lady

Lambeth council proposing to remove all Key Guarantees from Regen estates, not to be replaced until when and if a landlord offer is drafted… but in meantime demolition still on the table. Why? Reading the fine print in scrutiny document:Lambeth has cash problems Peoples Audit

HfL Tenants got mentioned in UK House of Commons! It’s official, we’re on the pages of UK Parliament history! So, why was our case brought up in Parliament? Here’s a bit of context 👇 🚨 Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions remain one of the leading drivers of homelessness. 🚫

#Lambeth budget meeting is next Wednesday: moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieListDocument… How can any responsible councillor put their name to budget that has lump sum of £30M in it with no detail of what makes up that figure? Meeting should be postponed or they should declare they can't balance budget

This is the council's (non) response to the auditors' criticism of Lambeth's inability to manage budgets. Lots of generic wording with no substance behind it

This is their response about HFL. "The vast majority of the recommendations....have been made." Apart from the bits about listening to residents. Still kicking can down the road about how the debt accumulated by HFL is dealt with Save Cressingham Save Central Hill DemolitionWatchLdn💙

How about reflecting on your own actions first: 1. Selling off over 1,000 council homes to the private sector 2. Leaving scores of homes empty on regeneration estates for months, and in some cases, years Cllr Donna Harris Cllr Scott Ainslie 💚 Pete Elliott DemolitionWatchLdn💙 Save Cressingham

Remember how when #Lambeth set up HFL they said they didn't want to work with developers and that last year they said that they only wanted to work with developers in the short term? Well here they are offering 10-20 year partnerships...with developers: opportunity.london/uploads/Opport…

Watch Manuel speak truth to power in his incisive deputation ✊ He delivered it on behalf of Homes for Lambeth Tenants at the latest full Lambeth Council meeting. As evident by Manuel’s speech, the council’s argument collapses under scrutiny. The line? Labour-led Lambeth Council must evict
