We're ordinary people in Haringey, London, facing service charges of up to £118k per household that are being imposed by a Labour council. We need your support!

In 2020 we set up this account to highlight our plight, as we faced bills of up to £118k for work @haringeycouncil had delayed for decades.
Four years on, the work is still not done & Haringey has found new ways to fleece us, charging extra for basics like covering up pipework.

Why won't you do a group meeting and inform us ALL at the same time. We've complained about the lack of communication from the beginning in 2020 and nothing has changed!

Now I've heard from ANOTHER LEASEHOLDER that the works have been pushed back to 2026! Why are we getting our updates from Leaseholders!!!
Noel Park Leaseholders' Action Group retweeted
Earlier this year I heard from a LEASEHOLDER the works would restart in October 2025, this leaseholder allowed me to take my garden back before @Equans left the site. I was only told by David Stevenson AFTER they'd gone.

June, July and September 2024 I was told by @haringeycouncil my bathroom would be replaced, still waiting to be told it the works have been postponed!

Is your lack of transparent communication causing headaches for leaseholders? It's time to improve! Enhance trust and satisfaction with clearer updates and information. #TransparentCommunication #LeaseholderWoes

FINAL CALL ‼️‼️Survey closes tomorrow
It was important we let this new government know that NOTHING has changed yet and we remain TRAPPED. Labour, when in opposition was always vocal on how inactive the previous government had been regarding tackling the Leasehold Scandal. Now they are in power, now they have a chance to change it.
The issues of Leasehold remain and the impact on people’s mental health and well-being is immense.
It is important to capture the true human impact this scandal is having on people’s lives and present these findings to the government.
We first jointly ran this survey five years ago, and this survey mirrors the previous one so that the results can be compared.
The survey is totally anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete, and closes tomorrow:

.@EQUANS_UK, the firm contracted by @haringeycouncil to carry out major works to our buildings, have been delaying the work for months.
No surprise they've been slated for poor performance in Stoke, where they've been slow to repair schools.

This is what @EQUANS_UK, contractor for @haringeycouncil, is doing to our flats. Neglect and shoddy work blighting tenants and leaseholders alike.
@NLC_2019 @LKPleasehold @BambosMP @HaringeyLabour @HaringeyLibDems @NoelParkN22
Every year new faces appear at Haringey & its contractor @EQUANS_UK, soon replaced by new ones. There is no continuity, no accountability. Promises made one year are forgotten the next. Our roofs leak or collapse, repairs are left undone, & emergency calls & emails go unanswered.
When will this end? How much longer will our lives be blighted through no fault of our own? When will we stop paying for others' greed & incompetence, simply because we happened to be here in 2020?

Haringey Council yet to fix door too narrow for man's wheelchair - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3vx…
Remember Peter Jeapes, who couldn't get through his new door in his wheelchair? A year on, he still can't and is waiting for @haringeycouncil to act.
Meanwhile, it's expecting us to PAY for these impossibly narrow doors.

Incompetent? Inept? Cost to correct?
Who’s responsible at @haringeycouncil for such waste of taxpayers’ money? Is this why council rents out #FinsburyPark ?
If you can't fit wheelchairs through the new doors @haringeycouncil is charging us for, you can forget about sofas, beds and fridges too.
They'll make our flats unsellable, and turn them into traps for disabled people.

It seems @haringeycouncil can't see the irony in this pledge.
The past 4 years have been a long saga of poor communication, unanswered questions, non-consultation & non-engagement by a string of resident "liaison" officers.
The gap between pledge & reality couldn't be greater!
.@haringeyouncil is charging us huge sums for new bathroom pods in our flats. So its contractor @EQUANS_UK is providing decent electrical connections, right?
Wrong. The cables are going on top of our walls, covered with ugly plastic trunking that devalues our flats. #Fleecehold
Noel Park Leaseholders' Action Group retweeted
No major works affecting @NPLeaseholders should be handled like this. Any ‘upgrade’ should be an enhancement & meet 21st century standards @haringeycouncil Would you agree to this in your property & consent to be charged £70k for it @perayahmet @SarahWHaringey ?
