Since my most recent monthly local issues and casework update report I’ve raised additional queries with the authorities on behalf of 73 residents and businesses across the Blackhall ward. I've also made direct contact with over 85 individual residents covering a wide range of issues. Many of these queries are personal and/or confidential so for obvious reasons details will not be disclosed to the public.
In addition, I’ve dealt with a number of general queries raised by members of the public. These include issues raised at ward surgeries, during street walkabouts, at the monthly Blackhall PACT meeting and through other methods, including direct contact with me via email and social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter).
These issues range from highways and footpath queries to housing matters and general environmental issues. There’s also an article about how vulnerable families are being abandoned in our communities by unscrupulous private sector landlords in collusion with local authorities in London. I’ve selected a few articles from the past month for re-posting, just in case you missed them first time around.
