One of the improvements we are seeking to make as part of the rooftop homes project will be the installation a fire suppression system to homes across the Southampton Way Estate.

For more details please see the leaflet in the library section and our new section on this Commonplace titled Fire Safety Improvements.

Southwark Council are seeking to appoint a new architect to design the proposed new council homes on the Southampton Way Estate. The council is looking for an architect who demonstrates excellence in both architectural quality and resident engagement.

We invited a range of high-quality architecture practices to submit expressions of interest for this work.

We believe that residents will bring a unique and vital perspective to the interview process, and so a member of the Southampton Way Estate Tenant and Residents Association have been asked to participate in the interview process.

The project team will hold interviews with the architects on Thursday 8 July 2021. We will let you know which practice has been successful.

The Cabinet Member for Social Regeneration, Great Estates, New Council Homes considered the feedback received and has agreed for further development work to be carried out in order to provide for new council homes and wider improvements to your estate. We can now move to the next stage.

The next stage is about:

• further consultation with you

• advice from building consultants on the deliverability of the rooftop homes at 1-20, 21-42 Stanswood Garden & 63-78, 79-88 Marchwood Close and how it could be developed.
