This is the improved Camden website. Tell us what you think.

Housing and Fire Safety Advisory Panel

The panel ensures that our landlord service meets safety regulations for the properties where our tenants and leaseholders live. The panel discusses:  

  • fire safety in Council homes 
  • how we are monitoring the condition of our housing stock, including damp and mould 
  • our compliance with fire, electrical, gas, legionella, asbestos and lift safety checks 

Panel members 

There are 12 places on the panel for residents which is co-chaired by a resident and an independent co-chair.

The London Fire Brigade has seats on the Panel. The Cabinet Member for Better Homes, Chair of Housing Scrutiny Committee, Deputy Leader of the Council and leaders of other political parties on the Council are also members.
