She made multiple calls to EKH..Mears..P&R.. eventually Mears sent a man who cut a hole in the ceiling, and left! I contacted Peter Wallace..in desperation..and he was amazing! Over the weekend he made many calls and involved other Councillors, attempting to get the tradesmen out to make the house safe for her and the children(electricity + water + small children being a dangerous combination.!) You are so fortunate , in Dover, having Councillors of this calibre. Heartfelt thanks Peter .

The above note of appreciation, was put on Dover for Dovorians . As a genuine thank you.
Just thought you should all know the full facts. It seems Howard McSweeney is always looking for additional material from Facebook. Well he does, and it shows on this Forum.
However, the above comments from him #7 are spiteful.
Peter Wallace / Ann Napier / and John Heron are incredible Councillors.
Many people, are genuinely thankful to them, in this harsh society.
Was she not offered emergancy accomadation 'A hotel' until work done. East Kent Housing took on Mears they are responsible for the service thats being given and should work with them if problems. If this lady was in or still is in these circumstances then EKH should be putting her and her children into a safer accomadation until the work is done to standards and the property safe. A hotel is cheaper than someone's life, cost of that hotel may speed up the works if these works take longer.
Did EKH contact back and did they offer help as this was life threatening problem here with children also by the sounds of it.
