CEO of southwark

Repeat of Undercover Boss on channel 4..10.30am today.

Thanks, Jan for posting this reminder.
I watched it with interest.

She is not so concerned about fire safety in real life. I reported a residential garage full of tyres which is attached to my block. Took repeated emails cc'ing her in to get anything done about it.

She never bothered replying or acknowledging my emails at all; even after a fire in out block 2 weeks later in which I had to help a mother evacuate her children.

I have given up with Southwark Council completely. They simply dont care.

Am sure she is well worth the £167,937 a year we pay her as our CEO.

So was this just a PR exercise, with crocodile tears and fake concern.
She came across as genuine, but perhaps she is a good actor?

SHOCKING!!!

What I find most shocking however is how she accused draper residents of bullying, harassing and vilifying Sourhwark council and it's staff. She has done this in person and in writing yet refuses to provide evidence of such behaviour or to apologise and simply pretends it never happened, when it undeniably happened.

She has behaved utterly disgraceful and disrespectful. And her refusal to deal with this issue and resolve it puts her into a very bad light. Even if she seemingly is getting away with it at the moment, I am sure that behaviour of hers will eventually haunt her back one day.

I for one have no trust nor any high opinion of her these days after what has happened. She really has utterly failed the draper residents. And if the draper residents have been treated so shambolic by her I cannot imagine her treating other residents better or with more respect than us.

Here is another story of how much Southwark cares:
http://housingactionsouthwarkandlambeth.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/keeping-people-in-their-homes-a-southwark-council-guide-to-homelessness/

Excerpt: "On the day of the eviction the council asked D to come into the housing office. She sat there from 9am believing she was going to resolve the issue. Being made to wait D received a phone call from her kids in the afternoon, bailiffs were breaking in the door finding D’s frightened children inside. In the office D appealed, only to be made to leave. “We thought your kids would be at school” council workers told D."

Have a look at ashamedbysouthwark's thread on this forum.
I was shocked by what I read.
The tearful CEO of Southwark's performance on Undercover Boss is exposed for the total sham that it is.

Poor 'D' , so the children being at school would make it better? coming home to a barricaded HOME would cause dreadful lasting emotional problems, where would their Mum be..sitting outside waiting to greet them with a flask of tea and some sandwiches...effing disgusting.
