Government statistics on the condition of council housing
stock released last week showed that there were 8,107 homes with ‘category one’
hazards across the country at the end of 2018/19. Of these, 4,340 (54%) were
owned by Lewisham Council. The local authority said that its figures were so
high because it counted all homes with a non-compliant fire door or “inadequate
fire compartmentation” as a category one hazard, unlike other councils. Read
