In memory of Mr Tom Waters who died last week

I was very saddened to learn today that Mr Tom Waters an Officer with London Borough of Camden, who had tirelessly worked as a Project Manager "trouble shooter" for the Housing Department had died of Cancer last week.

Tom was a stalwart of the Housing Development team, he was well known for his sense of wry humour and getting involved in the sharp end of dealing with the very "real" problems that residents on the Chalcots Estate and many other estates across Camden faced. He provided his mobile number to all without question or hesitation and would personally try to sort out problems.

Whether that may have been Lifts out of service on bank holidays, security concerns or any one of a hundred or more potential problems that residents may have faced with "major capital works"

I had become to know Tom very well during the past years and had frequent chats with him; I will miss his views and unique perspective on the building industry. He was a very knowledgeable person with lots of wisdom to offer people.

Tom will be much missed by a very many people.
