RAGE notes that Councillor Marc Francis (Housing and Development) and Councillor Abdal Ullah dropped by The Exmouth Estate on Wednesday, 09 December 2009.
Billed as an chance to “to get a clear picture of the security improvements”, they should shown some initiative and wandered off the guided tour.
Then they would have seen what their tour guides clearly don’t want anyone to see.
For example, if they had just headed over to Clovelly Way they would have seen this abject entrance way (“Door opens freely”). Apparently work stopped shortly before the holidays and reportedly there has been no progress since.
Door opens freely
Even though residents of the this block have to put with NO security in this ground level entrance way, Councillor Abdal Ullah was quoted as saying “I’m happy with the progress on the security door system and the wider security benefit of the whole estate.”.
RAGE is conducting a door knocking session over the next week to inform those in these unsecured blocks about Councilor Ullah’s opinion regarding their plight.
It is important those living without security know that Councillor Ullah – who to the best of our knowledge doesn’t live on The Exmouth Estate by the way – is “happy with the progress”.
We live on The Exmouth Estate, and we’re not happy. Broken security door are a persistent problem on The Exmouth Estate.
Broken doors have previously been documented in the RAGE produced movies NO SECURITY from December 2008, and WIDE OPEN from January 2009.
