Hi,

I'm a journalism student doing a research project on Dawson's Heights - I guess you could say that it's a kind of social history. I'm looking to speak to current and ex-residents of the building. In particular, I'd be really interested to speak to people that have lived/live in a council/housing association owned flat, people that bought their flat using right to buy, and people who are looking to buy in the building/have bought in the building privately in the last 5 years.

My interest in the building stems from an interest in the history of social housing generally, but Dawson's Heights in particular for it's interesting background (designed by architect Kate Mackintosh in the late 60s/70s) and also because I grew up nearby and have visited the estate many times.

Looks forward to hearing from you!

  again - all of this is inherited - but where was the outrage from you before Labour were elected? How is it down to a new Labour govt that the far right have a massive boost? I think there is a lot of accurate points In this post - but ultimately the response to that (and I'm not accusing you of responding differently - but we can see how others are) should be " huh - they are finding their feet lets see what the next reshuffle brings" - rather than millions of people demanding an immediate election on spurious grounds of "damaging the economy" when those same people accused likes of me of "project fear" over Brexit

  I said they are peering into the hole - not in it....yet!!! 😉 I think they know what they want to do but they also know how difficult it is going to be to do it and they knew it before the election but, clearly, could not verbalise the challenge ahead. They lent in way too much on the "we're not that lot and that lot are awful". They used the 24 hour news and social cycle to keep driving home that message - they got social media cheerleaders to ram home the point for them and call out the evil of Tory behaviour and drown out any semblance of rational election debate. Labour got into power and then started behaving exactly how the Tories had been and suddenly those very tactics are now being played back to them and now they are being drowned out. I am not convinced Labour have enough talent on the front benches in this particular cabinet to turn this around - I fear they lack the experience and leadership to be able to try and navigate the choppy waters they are facing - some them act like councillors rather than cabinet members. I watch so many media interviews with various cabinet ministers and they look out of their depth and seem utterly clueless on what line they should be pitching - it's car crash interview after car crash interview and the more they keep using the "after 14 years of Tory rule" as an excuse for everything, a bit like the "I am a son of a toolmaker" people will think they are all spin and no substance.
