Question
In light of
the present Housing Matters Consultation taking place and the estimate £150,000
cost of building each new council home, and the huge cost of B&B and hostel
housing, will the Council confirm it will NOT be demolishing the modern,
Council owned, without a Mortgage, 3 bedroom, double glazed, former Caretakers
house as part of the site clearance on the site of former Deptford Green School
by Deptford Police Station SE8.

The
caretaker’s house sits within the curtilage of the school site and as such
without the consent of the Secretary of State cannot be used for anything other
than education purposes. As part of the
overall proposals to deliver a new, single site school, on the Edward
Street/Fordham Park site the LA sought and received approval from the Secretary
of State for the Amersham Vale site to be released for alternative use. This was key to delivering the overall
proposals because there is an absolute requirement under the planning approval
for the new school to provide public open space on part of the Amersham Vale
site to replace that space on Fordham
Park which is used for
the new school’s Multi Use Games.
Clearly when these talks were taking place, no one bothered to note a perfectly decent family home was on site, yet further failings in Lewishams Labour adminstration.
