It was great to attend the annual Nunhead's Voice Older Peoples Celebration Day at Lime Tree House. As part of the programme for I took part in a Question time panel alongside colleagues from the London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police. We took questions from local people on the issues that are affecting them, their families and the local community.
Housing was the biggest issue raised with local people, concerned about the lack of affordable homes and worried about how this affects them and their families. Anti-social behaviour and home repair worries were amongst some of the issues raised. There was also a discussion from the Fire Brigade about raising awareness about fire safety in the home.
Thanks to Cris Claridge for organising a great event.
