Could you: a) tell me what you are doing to monitor deals, b) tell me what formal agreements there are, and c) if there are formal agreements, could you provide example copies to me illustrating the terms, redacted if necessary?

Leaseholders have contacted me with concerns regarding their freeholder’s refusal to commit to vital fire safety remediation works, despite having a costed plan commissioned from an independent safety consultancy and this being proposed as a legal requirement under the Building Safety Bill. This leaseholder receives funding from the GLA to build affordable homes and I am concerned this is a more general issue for Londoners. What are you doing to ensure that all developers you fund are following Government guidelines over building safety?

During the London Assembly Housing Committee investigation into London’s private rented sector in March 2022, we heard about local authorities in west London placing residents in temporary accommodation in east London owing to the lower costs there and the requirement for a London-wide approach to homelessness. Did the GLA’s Enhanced Setting the Standard Programme [ Ref ADD2415] seek to tackle this problem of inappropriate relocations? If so, what are the results and, if not, what action are you planning to take to deal with this issue?

A constituent has contacted me regarding development plans at the Central Hill Estate in Lambeth, raising concerns that the Council appears to have no plans to hold an estate ballot over the proposed demolition and rebuild, despite a Freedom of Information request revealing that GLA grant funding is being used for the scheme, and no ballot exemption for the estate being listed on the GLA website. Could you provide residents with assurances and plans for what action you will take if Lambeth Council does not carry out an estate ballot?
