Southwark Council has updated the rooftop extensions programme first mentioned in May 2020, increasing the number of blocks affected from 3 (Betsham, Boughton, Brenley) to 5 (adding Balin and Northfleet), plus a new ‘infill’ block on Tennis Street.
A newsletter to inform residents of these changes has gone out this week , available here:

Dear TRA committee member,
As you’ll be aware, we are under a new national lockdown to curb the spread of the new coronavirus variant and relieve the immense pressure that the NHS is experiencing in many parts of the country. For Southwark this means the rules are similar to the Tier 4 restrictions that were already in place across London, with a key message to STAY AT HOME. There are, however, some additional restrictions.
Key messages under the National Restrictions:
Please refer to the government guidance for full details. These restrictions will continue until at least the end of the February half-term, in the week of February 22.
Please help us to share the following messages with your networks:
A poster explaining the latest restrictions is attached to this email, which you may also find useful to share.
As ever, a huge thanks for everything you do to support our residents and communities through this very challenging period.

Dear Chair or Secretary,
After a difficult and tiring year I want to thank you for everything you have done for the residents you represent. We are clearly not out of the woods yet and there are some tough times ahead before we get through this.
However, the extraordinary voluntary effort to care for our vulnerable and isolated residents has shown the best side of our communities in council housing. TRAs have played a leading role in this response and thanks to you many people will be able to enjoy a better Christmas than might otherwise have been possible.
I wish you a very merry Christmas and I hope you have a restful, happy and healthy New Year.

Dear resident,
I want to wish all of Southwark’s TRA officers a happy, peaceful and safe Christmas.
This has been the most difficult of years but it has also been a year that has shown just how important our TRAs in Southwark are. The support you have provided to the people on your estates has been inspiring to see. So I want to say thank you to you for everything you do for our community.
With COVID rates rapidly rising again, I hope you will have a merry but safe Christmas this year, staying home as much as you can to stop the spread of the virus and save lives. With vaccines now being rolled out in Southwark the end is in sight but we still have some months to go during which we will all need to keep each other safe.
My thanks again to you and I wish a happy 2021 to you, your family and everyone on your estate.

Dear TRA,
I hope you are well.
As you are aware all of London, the South East and East England have now entered Tier 4 and shielding has been re-introduced for these areas, we have sent out advice letters to all on the Shielded Patient List via email or first class post. We are also making proactive calls to residents.
Currently we seeing low levels of demand, but are monitoring this closely and are ready to respond should this change. Our phone line will remain open daily through the festive period, on bank holidays this will be open 24 hours a day. Our out of hours team have been trained to deal with contact from Clinically Extremely Vulnerable residents.
We wanted to reach out and ask if you are aware of residents in your area who are vulnerable and could be isolated, if you could contact them safely to check in. We are open for referrals if they require food or access to other services.
Ways to contact:
We appreciate this is difficult for many people over the Christmas period, we want to say thank you for your work in helping vulnerable residents in our community.
Yours Sincerely,
Community Support Alliance
Southwark Council
