Decision details

The report had not been circulated five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to accept this item as urgent as the decision ensured that attention was paid to the situation in Marie Curie House, and confirmed the council’s commitment to the works going forward.  The report also demonstrated to everyone consulted and that comments were being taken into account in a timely and accessible manner.

2.  That the outcome of the independent review of fire safety at Marie Curie be noted.

3.  That the progress on the rehousing of the tenants within Southwark be noted.

4.  That the progress on the programme of works to be undertaken be noted.

5.  That officers be instructed report in March 2023 on the progress on the works to Marie Curie house, delivering the recommendations of the independent review and reviewing the works undertaken at Lakanal to review whether any additional works to Marie Curie house are required at Lakanal.
