To consider deputation requests received from Sceaux Gardens Tenants Association in respect of door entry systems and a group of tenants in respect of resident involvement service

Consideration of the the deputation request relating to the Resident Involvement Service was deferred at the request of the deputation.

The executive received a deputation from residents of 1 – 30 Voltaire, Sceaux Gardens Estate in respect to a request for door entry system in Voltaire House.  The deputation spokesperson Mr Samson Adeboye informed the executive of the incidents and  types of anti social behaviour that had been taking place on the stairs and in the lift at Voltaire.

It was explained to the deputation that before their request could be acted on, the council would need to carry out a ballot with the residents on whether they wanted the door entry system and also whether the residents are willing to pay for it.  If it was established that the residents were in favour of the installation of a door entry system, the council would look at it’s capital programme.

It was also explained to the deputation that the Council would also need to establish whether there were any public rights of way.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the chief executive instructs the Camberwell Area Office to carry out a ballot.

2.  That officers investigate the opportunities for JSI funding.

3.  That officers establish whether there are any public rights of way issues and obtain crime statistics from the police.
