<p>HI Lee,</p>
<p></p>
<p>That's ridiculous! I was told in 2013 they were sorting them in April 2014. 5 years later and still nothing. I am on the phone to them and e-mail every other day, trying to at least get the handles fixed, it's taken them 4 weeks to do 3 out of 4. I've been here most of my life, but things are getting worse! Thank you the update. 2025!?? That long?</p>

<p>Hi Nicholas</p>
<p>In August 2016 I got a email from somebody at the city of London to say that they were hoping to start the windows in April/May 2018 but now they are saying at the earliest 2020 so expect it to be even later than that and it could be even 2025 before they finish, I went and spoke to COL at the recent open evening and they told me that is correct and not much can be done.</p>

<p>On 23 February 2018, us residents on the third floor received a letter from the Estate Office manager, telling us that the defects to the lighting had finally been identified and repaired. We, on this landing are mystified over this letter, as we continue to be in utter darkness, and it has been like that for many weeks. We have complained about this breach to health and safety, yet the Housing Department deny we have complained when we said we did. On one occasion, my partner's sister in…</p>
<p>On 23 February 2018, us residents on the third floor received a letter from the Estate Office manager, telling us that the defects to the lighting had finally been identified and repaired. We, on this landing are mystified over this letter, as we continue to be in utter darkness, and it has been like that for many weeks. We have complained about this breach to health and safety, yet the Housing Department deny we have complained when we said we did. On one occasion, my partner's sister in law contacted the Estate Office to express her concern on this issue, only for me to be told they could not 'recall' the conversation. So, not only are the Estate Office being negligent, they are suffering from memory lapses. One of my neighbours has written yet another letter on this matter. This is sheer incompetence and not acceptable, especially in this severe weather, when we cannot see when walking along the corridor. </p> Good for you Lee.

<p>I spoke too soon. This evening half the lights that were originally out for nearly a month, are out again. This is despite being told by a City of London manager that all the lights had only been out for about 2 days! I have asked for a full response and an apology for the false information. Somehow, I don't think I will get it as the City never admit to their failures to residents. Instead they claim they are committed to the health and safety of residents.

<p>Finally, last Friday, after being in total darkness again for a long time, our lights have been restored, but only after my social worker went into the Estate Office about it. Am so grateful she sorted it out, when us residents were ignored when we complained. The City are so quick to quote Health and Safety issues to us, and blame us for breaking them, but are happy to ignore their own responsibilities to us, as residents. This is not going unnoticed.</p>

<p>After two weeks being in darkness someone finally came to look at the lights last Friday. For 2 days they were restored, but again, we are in darkness, for the last 5 days. What a disgraceful situation. </p>
