Brent Council found to have 'serious failings'
Briefly

Brent Council in north-west London has come under scrutiny from the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) for serious failings in ensuring the health and safety of its tenants. The RSH's review found that the council had closed numerous fire risk cases that were either incomplete or lacked adequate documentation. With about 12,500 actions from fire risk assessments closed erroneously, many labeled as high and medium risks, substantial improvements are necessary. The council acknowledged its weaknesses, stating it is committed to enhancing the quality of its housing stock and has made recent progress.
The Regulator of Social Housing criticized Brent Council for serious failings in meeting health and safety standards, particularly highlighting uncompleted fire risk assessments.
Brent Council's self-referral to the Regulator is a recognition of its shortcomings in fulfilling its duties to ensure tenant safety, with a call for significant improvements.
