Our response
- The Council has an ongoing yearly Capital Works programme where we undertake external fabric repairs to include decorations.
- 798
- We presently do not use graphene paint for the painting of the exterior of our housing stock
- We do not paint the exterior of our buildings with either fungicidal or graphene paint. If there are issues with damp affecting the property, the cause of the damp is investigated and addressed before external decorations is undertaken
- We decorate the exterior of our properties with paint that is British Standard approved and developed for external use.
- I can confirm that Lambeth Council does not hold the information requested in the format requested and is unable to obtain it. Regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR states that a public authority may refuse to disclose information to the extent that it does not hold that information when an applicant’s request is received.
- As above.
