Despite a slow start Southwark Council Housing plans to try accelerating the council program of making all council properties dry, warm and safe.  It is a very basic standard – but even thinly applied jam is still jam. This is partly made possible by a large government grant.

Instead of the following properties in small East Dulwch blocks being improved 2015/2016 they will now be improved 2014/2015:

– Crawthew Road

– Crystal Palace Road

– Friern Estate

– Halliwell Estate

Also those street council properties – often victorian properties purchased just after WWII – proposed to be improved are being brought forward from 2015/2016 to 2014/2015.

Do let me know if you’d like any furthers details.
