Lambeth still trying to get new owners to pay - not surprisingly they are not keen especially as quote has increased by 50% in 6 months. I don't think they will do this until a serious injury is sustained by children climbing on the wall.

Still waiting for council to honour their obligation, not only to me, but to new owners of estate.

Designated council contact has once again failed, post ombudsman request, to up date me on progress. Where is a person supposed to turn next?

Apparently I will be given an update in early January. Not holding my breath. New owners of the Estate are equally anxious for progress.

Council have still not acted on ombudsman's decision that they should nominate a single point of contact and give monthly updates on progress. Nominee didn't respond for 3 weeks and is now on further 2 week leave.

The Ombudsman has ruled that the Council have failed to keep residents properly informed of progress or plans. However, still have no date for completion of work even though it was condition of sale of estate, that the work be done.

More lies and procrastination from Council, even lying to the Ombudsman. I have lost hope that this will ever be done despite the fact that Council have legal liability to new owners of the wall, as part of the transfer.

Problem now with Local Government ombudsman, and overdue for response. No idea what to do next if that doesn't work either.

Now being ignored by fresh round of Lambeth COuncil employees. Have sent file to Local Government Ombudsman as exhausted by lies and incompetence.

After request for exact timings, and another prompt, I heard from the very first department I ever spoke to, that they need to get tenders to do the work and they would anticipate a September or October workdate. Nobody is now responding to my point that tenders were sought a year ago - even though I have forwarded them copies of the tender. I am taking this to the Local Government Ombudsman.I couldn't be less impressed with how this Council spends our money and its time.

Conservative customer relations officer for Council has finally given me the information that the wall is to be fixed by end of May 2008 under terms of sale of Estate. Not holding my breath as this is to be done by same department who have been putting me off for a year or so.

No reply from any Council member as this is no longer their problem. They haven't given me name of new owner, or acted on the report that the wall needed URGENT attention.Please don't tell me to contact Council. I have done everything I can do with them.

Council have put me off 29 times and it is now clear this is because they have sold the estate and have been running down the clock until it was no longer their responsibility. This is disgusting and dishonest behaviour. I couldn't be angrier about the amount of my time they have wasted and the cost to the council for all their prevarication must also be huge.

I have had 26 different promises of dates for action. since 23/7 Nothing has happened except further burglaries due to condition of wall. Council time spent by at least 11 officials must outweigh cost of just getting on and actually doing the job. Hard to imagine a less efficient process.

The council are passing this back and forth between departments and getting nowhere. Yes, I have spoken to my councilllor and nothing has happened. They are just telling me lies, or ignoring me. I suppose I have to take legal action which will cost me hard earned money. Just like the noise from the Victoria Line doesn't get fixed. I'm fed up with them all.
