The lift in Gwynne House was broken from 15th October 2021 to 17th December 2021. Residents deserve compensation. This seriously affected people

Residents were initially offered a derisory amount of compensation. Bell, our MP, thinks this isn’t enough

Gwynne House residents were without lift access for 6 weeks last year, causing many great pain & difficulty.

I've been working with @StMartinsTRA to ensure everyone is properly compensated.@MetTVH have just offered residents an insulting £25. That's nowhere near good enough.

Following a meeting with Bell in June MTVH agreed to increase their offer to £50. We’re deciding whether or not to accept that.

Our campaign was featured in SW Londonder

Bell, helped chase MTVH to fix the lift and has also chased MTVH for compensation for residents.  Residents in Williams House got £250 compensation when their lift broke, Gwynne House should get compensation too.

Good to check in with Gwynne House residents, whose lift was broken for six weeks last year.

This forced residents to use the stairs, causing those with mobility issues real pain & difficulty.

The lack of lift affected lots of people. One person we met had to cart their bike up six flights of steps. Another said “I am disabled sometimes I couldn’t go out because of this”

Everyone in Gwynne House pays for the lift in their rent or service charge.  Everyone deserves a good service.
