THE GRENFELL ACTION GROUP ARE DEMANDING IMMEDIATE ACTION BY SIOBHAN RUMBLE (ESTATE MANAGER), HER TEAM ON LANCASTER WEST AND HER WELL PAID SUPERIORS AT THE TENANT MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION TO TO SORT OUT THE APPALLING WATER DAMAGE SITUATION CAUSED BY A LEAKING COMMUNAL CEILING THAT HAS BEEN PLAGUING THE LIVES OF RESIDENTS IN TESTERTON WALK FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW.
DESPITE REPORTING THE PROBLEM WHEN THE LEAK FIRST OCCURRED NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE TMO TO STOP WATER POURING IN FROM THE CEILING AND RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO LIVE IN A SLUM-LIKE ENVIRONMENT THAT RESEMBLES A FLOOD SCENE FROM THE SOMERSET LEVELS RATHER THAN THAT OF A CIVILISED, 21st CENTURY HOUSING ESTATE, LOCATED IN ONE OF THE RICHEST BOROUGH’S IN THE UK.
TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, RESIDENTS ARE VERY STRESSED AND UPSET THAT THEIR LEGITIMATE CONCERNS APPEAR TO BE SIMPLY IGNORED BY THE TMO.
A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS OF TESTERTON WALK (WHO WISH TO KEEP THEIR IDENTITY ANONYMOUS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF REPRISALS FROM THE TMO) STATE THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE LACK OF ACTION BEING TAKEN BY OUR LANDLORDS TO RECTIFY THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS TO THE TMO FOR ASSISTANCE.
THE GRENFELL ACTION GROUP BELIEVE THAT THIS BEHAVIOUR DEMONSTRATES CLEAR NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELL-BEING OF TENANTS BY THE TMO.
IN ADDITION, THIS CONTINUOUS WATER LEAK POSES A POTENTIAL HEALTH RISK TO RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE VICINITY AS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF TENANTS AND THEIR VISITORS CONTRACTING MESOTHELIOMA AS A RESULT OF WATER DAMAGE MIXING WITH THE ASBESTOS IN THE COMMUNAL CEILING’S ARTEX COATING.
RESIDENTS OF LANCASTER WEST ESTATE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED IN SUCH A CONTEMPTUOUS AND OFF-HAND MANNER BY THE TMO AND WE DEMAND THAT IMMEDIATE REPAIRS ARE CARRIED OUT TO THE DAMAGED COMMUNAL AREA IN TESTERTON WALK AS A MATTER OF THE UTMOST URGENCY.
WE SHALL BE FORWARDING THIS LINK TO THOSE IN POWER AT THE TMO AND TRUST THAT THIS ACTION AND A QUICK EXAMINATION BY THE TMO OF THEIR CONSCIENCES AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE RESIDENTS OF LANCASTER WEST WILL BRING A SPEEDY AND SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS PROLONGED AND HIGHLY UNSAVOURY EPISODE.
