Free fire risk check for council homes
Council tenants can benefit from a free fire risk check for their homes as part of a new initiative by Lambeth Council, the London Fire Brigade, British Gas and SeaFlame. These checks will identify any potential risks and how they can be overcome. The three year project will mean that all council-owned properties in the borough are fitted with free smoke alarms.
If you are a Lambeth Council tenant and you would like to find out more about this scheme, contact Lambeth's Gas Servicing team on 020 7926 2078 or email gasservicing@lambeth.gov.uk.
It's easy to recycle if you live on a housing estate by using the green recycling bins. These are usually located where you put your household rubbish.
We are responsible for repairs to communal areas of your housing estate including stairs, door entry systems, communal lighting, landings, communal windows, courtyards and sheds.
