I am surprised as have not seen any renovation work happen inside the building to adapt it for families to be living in as I am sure the previous set up of individual bedrooms for elderly would not be suitable ?.

I thought it was squatted because individuals were throwing black rubbish refuse bags all over the car park, guess Lewisham Council got residents into property but did not arrange bins or any collection !. There is now a large skip being used to throw the bags into.

Housing for homeless families means there will be there on a temporary basis until they are found permanent accommodation, this type of residential unit can cause a lot of problems. Lets hope Lewisham Council will maintain this beautiful building & any tenancy agreement will require residents to be responsible for care & upkeep of their designated areas & that there will be enforcement of tenancy conditions by council officers.
