No way to live

This is a bit of video one of my constituents filmed. She lives in a council owned house and basically the roof has a huge hole in it. Every time it rains water pours through the ceiling in her living room and little boy's bedroom.



She first reported it to Southwark Council in December 08. When it was inspected in early 2009 the guy said it was too dangerous for him to even go in the loft and said he'd ask for it to be authorised as an urgent repair. 9 months later and Jessica and Ewan are still waiting! Ewan is now suffering from respiratory problems, most likely due to the damp and Jessica is just desperate.

I'm posting this video and sending a link to the people who run Southwark Council's housing department, particularly Tory Cllr Kim Humphreys, in the hope that this will make them take this seriously and get this sorted.
