It was good to meet with leaseholders from the St Martin’s Estate to discuss their campaign against damp and disrepair. MPs spend so much of our time helping constituents with housing issues and the majority of this relates to disrepair. Landlords need to spend less time blaming residents for structural issues and more time getting on with repairs. I was also glad to work with the St Martin’s Tenants and Residents Association to help them secure compensation for an extensive period of lift disrepair.
