Tenants are being put at “unacceptable risk” in an east London borough which was on Wednesday handed the worst rating ever issued by the Government regulator for the state of its social housing.
In a damning report, the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) said Newham council’s stock had “very serious health and safety issues” and at least 20 per cent of its 16,000 homes do not meet decent living standards.
