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 - 13 September 2024

We’re continuing to work closely with our consultants and Lewisham Borough Council to decide the best approach for completing the remediation works at Foreshore.

As Foreshore is a listed building, all proposed works must receive approval from Building Control before we can proceed. This process is detailed and complex, which has unfortunately taken longer than we’d hoped.

However, we’re pleased to tell you that there has been some movement in the process. While we cannot provide specific details at this time, please be assured that we are actively working to move things forward as quickly as possible.

We understand that this situation is frustrating, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience it may cause.
We remain committed to keeping you informed and will provide another update in 12 weeks, or sooner if there is significant progress to share.

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.
