TA News
News from KPE TA – July 2014 Repairs – our heads, their brick walls! Since the start of the new repairs contract with Mears at the end of October last year, the Tenants’ Association has been very active in challenging Hyde Head Office on behalf of our tenants. The contractor (Mears) appears to tenants to have failed to perform to the contract from the beginning and continues to perform poorly. We have been assured that the most senior staff at Head Office are dealing with the problem, holding top level meetings every week. This is what we have been told for over six months now. The best brains at Hyde Head Office have been defeated by one repair contractor and HSH residents have suffered the consequences. ‘Bear with us’ Hyde’s publicity machine has begged us. ‘The necessary steps are being taken!’ we have been told. ‘Bear with us a…

Elections! Vote! Vote! Vote!
Local council and European parliamentary elections are taking place on Thursday 22 May and it’s important to vote. Lambeth Council may no longer directly manage our homes on Kennington Park Estate but the TA works closely with our councillors, they come to our meetings, take up individuals’ problems and sit on Hyde committees. The Council’s decisions and the services it provides affect much of our lives, whether it’s emptying the bins, recycling our rubbish, filling in potholes, providing education for our children at Henry Fawcett and other local schools and nurseries, funding and supporting Kennington Park, Durning Library, Oval House Theatre, and many of our local sporting and recreational facilities, providing social care and support for our elderly, young, sick or disabled residents, backing local businesses, creating jobs and apprenticeships or deciding on local planning or licensing applications. Badly hit by central government restrictions and cutbacks, nevertheless our…
