Not everyone is a fan of microwaves, and if someone isn’t regularly using ready meal type things they’re not always as useful as you might think anyway. Cooking on gas is a lot more economical than using electric - it was the single biggest change we found when we moved to the house!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Time to write to your MP & also call adult social services for help. Utterly shocking - make a complaint.2

In Japan they completely rebuild and re-open 200m of four-lane highway completely destroyed by an earthquake within six days. In this country, six weeks after a boiler conks out we have a couple of guys look into a cupboard and scratch their heads.1

Update, We have just sent this text to his housing officer,-You said a delivery of a countertop hob and oven can be arranged for Monday.-I told you I am in desperate need of this.-It is now Wednesday and I have not received the countertop hob and oven.- You haven't even bothered to update me.-What is going on?0

I'd be contacting your local BBC news station - "elderly and vulnerable residents left without heating and hot water for months" is the sort of thing that could get some coverage (and be a much needed kick up the backside)4

Yes - this needs to come out of the realms of texts now, and into formal complaint territory. Texts are personal between two individuals they are sent to and from - a Formal Complaint will have to be shred more widely. You need to rule out this being incompetence on a small scale - ie one housing officer not doing what they are supposed to.
Also agree with the idea of escalating to MP, local councillors, local news and Social Services.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I’d contact the local MP and elected council member. And make a formal complaint.2

Just one example of why I'm in favour of greatly reducing limited liability in private and public bodies. Nobody is held responsible, nobody gets sanctioned, nothing improves; the best case is that someone does the job they were supposed to do six months prior and it's the customer that gets the full shaft.1

So this is the response I received today.
Updates on countertop hobs/oven - slightly delay on part of the delivery service, which was due to arrive on Monday 20th October.Housing Manager, Rosie will arrange drop off of equipment as soon as the main office receives the said items.RegardsHornsey Housing Trust0
