Responsbility Split Elt1st Coop & Islington Council

Elthorne First Housing Tenant was registered as a cooperative in 1979

IMPORTANT INFORMATION


Elthorne 1st Co-Op is responsible for the day to day running of the properties that form part of the Management Agreement with the London Borough of Islington who remain the Landlords of the properties we manage.


As such there is a split in responsibility between those items of repair that fall under the remit of the Co-Op and those items that remain with London Borough of Islington.  To assist you with identifying where the responsibility lies please refer to the list below. 


Please bear in mind that all heating and hot water dis-repairs remain the responsibility of Islington Council and any problems with loss of heating and or hot water should be reported to the council repair line on 0800 694 3344. 


You may if you wish report it via the Co-Op office who in turn will notify Islington Council, but if the loss is experienced late evening or at the weekends when the Co-Op office is closed please report on the above number.
