Letter to the editor: Is Lewisham Council aware not one worker sub-contracted to carry out major works on Deptford council estates is from Lewisham?

Who is responsible to ensure contractors employ workers from the area?

Who is responsible to ensure the council’s equalities policy is enforced?

None of the contractors working in Deptford are local, people of colour or women.

What is the council doing to ensure the area’s business and people are able to secure work on these developments?

The council should carry out a skills assessment to demonstrate the huge level of skilled labour within the borough.
