In the above investigation report by the Housing Ombudsman into some area's of service provision by camden council housing repairs department - key issues include:

             - unlinked repair histories 

             - neglected follow ups on inspections 

              - stalled repairs lacking inspections

             - poor record keeping 

             -   repeated unsuccessful repair attempts

               and poor communication with residents. 

" to improve the management of repairs the report recommends the landlord establish a systematic process for tracking outstanding repairs to completion."
