People on an estate in south London say they're living in fear

:00:00.:00:21.

for their safety - as building work takes place all around them.

:00:22.:00:24.

Hundreds of new homes are being built in Lambeth to replace

:00:25.:00:27.

But the residents say building work is going on around them

:00:28.:00:31.

This is the shiny new future they have been promised. But to get their

:00:32.:00:44.

residence on this estate in Lambeth must wait for their homes to be torn

:00:45.:00:48.

down and rebuilt around them. And that means living on a demolition

and we were told a couple of nights ago people came and started a fire

:01:23.:01:25.

inside which is why all of this stuff was brought outside. The door

:01:26.:01:28.

has been boarded up by the developers but you can see that none

of this area has been secured. Cowboy builders! There is much anger

here towards the developers. Residence on the North State now

that is why the cupboard is like that and it needs to be replaced.

:01:57.:02:00.

The quality of the properties is poor, they look nice and they are

:02:01.:02:04.

lovely but there is a sound issue for us. It is the sound and the

:02:05.:02:09.

floods and the leaks and the issues with hot water. We haven't had hot

:02:10.:02:13.

water for weeks or months. The developer, magenta, says there is a

:02:14.:02:16.

repairs team on hand and that derelict properties are checked

:02:17.:02:20.

every day. Meanwhile, Lambeth Council says it is investigating the

:02:21.:02:24.

alleged breaches of health and safety. But with years until all

they are not forgotten amongst the rubble.

:03:29.:03:35.

We have been here 16 years and never worried about this sort of thing.

:03:36.:03:40.

When it comes to round about 10pm at night we start getting very

:03:41.:03:41.

anxious. Hundreds of passengers arriving

:03:42.:03:46.

at Gatwick Airport have been told to go home without luggage

decided to send them home. Gatwick has said their baggage will

be sent on to them. We have got some showers

in the forecast for tomorrow. There is a risk of showers

:04:13.:04:17.

for us all though. Some sunshine

:04:18.:04:21.

between the showers. They don't start

:04:22.:04:22.

until tomorrow morning. Generally a lot

:04:23.:04:27.

of dry weather around tonight. More comfortable to sleep in

:04:28.:04:29.

recent nights at 12 to 15 Celsius. Lots of dry weather to start

tomorrow with sunshine but the showers out towards the east

:04:33.:04:34.

making their way towards central London and they will be slow-moving

:04:35.:04:37.

and agree with some hail mixed in. Plenty of sunshine either side of

:04:38.:04:40.

those showers but if you catch one it will be quite torrential, so The

:04:41.:04:44.

Met office issued a weather warning in force through the day tomorrow

:04:45.:04:47.

for those thundery down pours. Tuesday will be drier and brighter

:04:51.:04:53.

back up into the higher 20 Celsius. Some cloud but generally drier

in the middle part of the week. I will be back at 10:25pm. Have a

:04:57.:04:59.

good evening. Topped temperatures down 5 degrees

:05:00.:05:12.

on yesterday and much lower humidity so the second part of the weekend

:05:13.:05:15.

has been much more comfortable. The coming few days, if we get sunshine

:05:16.:05:19.

it will be pleasantly warm. It's not a completely dried story because

:05:20.:05:22.

they will be showers dotted around and it should be that bit cooler at

:05:23.:05:25.

night. The satellite sequence from today shows some thunderstorms
