Huge congratulations to Gareth Wilson, who this week received an MBE for his incredible seven years of selfless work battling for the leaseholders of Celestia Cardiff Bay caught up in the 🏴🏠🔥cladding crisis. @EOCS_Official@ukcag@dannybster@SeneddWales@siangwenfelin
Buildings Insurance of £14.5k skyrockets to... 3️⃣1️⃣1️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ POUNDS!
Each leaseholder now being forced to pay £4k.
16 months since @mhclg said they’re working (with insurers) to maybe possibly perhaps consider action.
Working at their usual "pace".
A new businessman landlord had bought the estate, hiking rents and treating their home as a pure "income stream."
When "agents came to distrain property against non-payment of tithes" the village blew horns to warn the parish. The family "hustled them back and foiled them."

Huge congratulations to Gareth Wilson on his New Year’s MBE. We thank him for his immense and selfless work over the last six years on behalf of all 457 Celestia leaseholders. A richly deserved award.
Diolch to fawr Gareth.

The aim to build a new square that would enhance Cardiff’s ambition to be one of Europe’s most successful cities has in fact resulted in the construction of an urban desert, it has been claimed ✍️@ShiptonMartinnation.cymru/news/cardiff-ce…
This government will never compromise when it comes to upholding building safety standards but the performance of the regulator is delaying the delivery of high-rise buildings across the country.
Today, we are taking action with a package of reforms 👇🏻

It's the lawyer's ability to argue for any client - here he wanted leaseholders and building safety victims votes - Today, he wants the builders to "build, baby build!" Tomorrow who knows? Come on PM @Keir_Starmer sort out constituent @dannybster@UKLabour@mhclg@EOCS_Official
‼️It’s simple @Keir_Starmer
Resolving the Building Safety Crisis will free up much needed homes
⁉️Where are your promises to ALL innocent leaseholders when you were in opposition.. those being made bankrupt & worse - that can see no way out of this injustice!
⚖️ @mhclg
Terrific to see new homes being provided for Diff citizens. But incredible that @AngelaRayner failed to meet with many @cardiffcouncil 🏠🔥cladding & building safety victims. More evidence of @UKLabour walking back on previous election commitments. @ShiptonMartin@EOCS_Official
Fantastic to show Deputy Prime Minister @AngelaRayner our latest Council Homes scheme - an office conversion in Cardiff Bay providing permanent accommodation for families.
We believe in good quality, affordable, housing for all, and that, together, is what Labour is delivering.
Pleased to have contributed to this. The ongoing push for justice and change post Grenfell still needs public support, and I really hope this film can be a catalyst for that:

Amazing news that @CovidMemorialUK is now a registered charity. So well deserved. You are an inspiration to us all - turning utter tragedy into this awe inspiring monument ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you from all the Covid Bereaved Cymru for your continued dedication to maintaining the named hearts & your tenacity in ensuring it stays. We can only hope that one day we will have a proper place in Wales to commemorate our loved ones lost to Covid. Diolch
Are @Keir_Starmer and his Number 10 aides preparing to betray leaseholders?
We have given @mtpennycook stick over the past year for not moving quickly enough on leasehold – but the buck doesn’t stop with him.
Starmer seems to be refusing to prioritise ending leasehold for good.
🚨 LEASEHOLD BECOMES ANOTHER LABOUR BROKEN PROMISE?!
From “acting quickly” on leasehold to unlikely to be delivered before the next election.
No 10 needs to prioritise abolishing leasehold: otherwise @UKLabour will be finished – and they’ll deserve it. telegraph.co.uk/money/proper…
Incredibly powerful & disturbing #Grenfell stories from acclaimed journalist @PeteApps at @chaptertweets yesterday. Very sombre experience. Diolch yn Fawr Pete & look after yourself- must take a toll. Thxs to @chaptertweets team for focusing on the tragedy. @GrenfellUnited 💚💚
🗨️ "The situation facing leaseholders at Beech and Willow Rise is absolutely heartbreaking. Some have mortgages they’re still paying; others have already paid them off — but all are now staring down the barrel of losing not only their home, but their life savings too."
Totally agree & if anyone is working in @BBCWalesNews today here’s a press release from the much respected Mr Wilson. PS @BBCWales this crisis is one of 🏴’s biggest public safety policy failings! 🏴citizens deserve better. #bbc@ShiptonMartin@NationCymru
Astonishing that @BBCWalesNews have yet again failed to report on the 🏴🏠🔥building safety crisis & this important legal ruling. We earlier advised them of the court hearing & nothing! Why? Why? 000s trapped in unsellable homes. PSB!?! @ITVWales#bbc Our thanks to @NationCymru👍
Following last week’s High Court decision to strike out a claim from compensation from a leading 🏴fire & building safety victim - we have secured a press release from Mr Wilson. We offer our enormous support to him & his family at this very difficult time. @EOCS_Official#Redrow
