As councillors gather for tonight's Full Council, meeting I have just heard from John Healy that the saga of his flooded flat on South Kilburn Estate continues. Despite the best efforts by Cllrs Long and Abdi, discussion at last week's Housing Scrutiny Meeting and visits from housing officers and Wates, the leak has not yet been repaired.
John tells me hat the leak is still in the kitchen but in a worsening of his situation has now spread into his living room as well.
He says that nobody from the council has been in touch today even though on Friday they said they would contact him today to offer him temporary accommodation.
I really did hope for better from Brent Housing now that it has been brought back in-house. The Council took over from BHP on the 27th September, 2017 promising big improvements in their performance targets, especially regarding repairs.
