Leader of the Council and cabinet members

Deputy Cabinet Member for Landlord Services

Cllr Popoola is responsible for strengthening our engagement with tenants and leaseholders through existing structures such as the Repairs Improvement Board, Housing Forums, conferences and Tenants & Residents’ Associations. He ensures residents are kept fully up to date on the progress of Southwark’s Good Landlord Plan. 

He will also deliver new and innovative ways to engage tenants and leaseholders to allow them to challenge us to be a better landlord and influence decisions that affect their homes. Specifically, Cllr Popoola will build on the success of Repair Action Days to provide a sustainable programme of visible engagement and service delivery on our estates.

The Leader delegates formal decision-making requirements at a Cabinet level to Cllr Situ for the purpose of signing off cabinet reports and IDMs, although the deputy cabinet member will lead on development.
