Foreshore - building safety

We’ll be posting the latest news for our Foreshore, Deptford customers here, so please bookmark this page to stay up-to-date on the work we’re doing to keep everyone safe.

Latest update - 24 January 2025

We’re continuing to work with our consultants and Lewisham Borough Council to plan the next steps for the remediation works at Foreshore.

The process to get approval from Building Control has been slower than expected. We know this delay is frustrating and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

We’re working to move things forward as quickly as possible and will share another update in 12 weeks, or sooner if there’s significant news.

In the meantime, please refer to our Foreshore frequently asked questions, which we hope will address any queries you may have regarding the remedial work.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Project: What we are doing

An independent fire expert has identified compartmentation issues at Foreshore, which meant we had to change the building’s evacuation policy from ‘stay put’ to ‘simultaneous evacuation’, which must be supported by a waking watch. We’re currently exploring options for remedial works.

Programme

We will update customers with a programme of works once a contractor has been appointed.
