    If you notice items in the communal areas of your building that shouldn’t be there, please let us know by contacting our Service Centre or emailing customerservice@newlon.org.uk because they could be a heath and safety risk. If you let us know what the items are and the location, we will let our Estates team know so they can inspect and make efforts to identify the owner or have the items removed.

    All our estates are inspected regularly – and this is one of the issues that we look out for on such visits.

    If you notice people loitering and causing nuisance in or around your building then please make a note of the location, times and dates, and contact our Service Centre or email customerservice@newlon.org.uk to let us know. Providing detailed information will help us to investigate the matter thoroughly and, if necessary, take action against those involved.

    If you have immediate concerns about the behaviour, you should contact the police by dialling 101, or 999 in the case of an emergency.

  • How do I report drug use on an estate?

    If you become aware of drug use on your estate, you should inform your local neighbourhood policing team – details can be found at www.police.uk.

  • There is a sticker on an item I have put in the communal area. Why is this?

    Legislation around fire safety requires landlords to carry out Fire Risk Assessments. Part of this assessment focuses on escape routes and therefore includes communal areas, which have to be kept clear as they are a means of escape in the event of a fire.

    This means that all items that are found in the communal areas of our estates will need to be removed.

    If there is a sticker on an item you have placed in a communal area, such as a bike, flower pot, or pram, then you have 7 days to remove it, or we will remove it from the premises and you will need to contact the Service Centre on 020 7613 8080 to get it back.

    We will then keep the item for a maximum of 14 days. You will need to make a payment of £50 to get it back. If no payment is made within this time, then an instruction will be passed to our contractors to dispose of the item.

  • There are rough sleepers on my estate. How do I report it?

    If there is someone sleeping in a communal area such as the bin store or the communal stairway and you want to report it, then you should contact the police on their non-emergency number, by calling 101.

    If they have gained access due to something being broken, such as a window or entrance door, or if you feel there are additional security measures that may be needed, then please report it to us in the normal way on 020 7613 8080.

    If you are in any kind of threatening situation or there is an emergency please dial 999.
