You write: “The local authority has several enforcement remedies under their HMO licensing schemes and other legislation.” It does not use them as I and my neighbours have found for three decades in respect of the property referred to in my original post, the infamous “Royal Crimea Guest House”. It has had three bad landlords. Worst was Ealing Council itself, operating a hostel there in contravention of planning regulations. Overcrowding: wall-to-wall mattresses. Child scalded with boiling water due to deprivation of cooking facilities. Reported to the Council (with photographs). Nothing done. That was a while ago. Now we have Wiltshire, mentioned in my original post, licensing a landlord guilty of filth and fire hazard. Contact South Acton councillors Josh Blacker, Mik Sabiers or Yvonne Fletcher, you say. We do. No response. Sabiers has never answered any email from myself or my neighbours. He takes the money as a representative but does not do the job. Yvonne Fletcher? I believe you have mistakenly used the name of the police-officer murdered by a Moslem. It is a name that sticks in many minds, as does that of Lee Rigby, victim of two ungrateful “guests” in our country. You meant Yvonne Johnson. Councillor Johnson takes on the responsibility of responding to emails, understandable in respect of Mr Blacker, who is, I believe, a single parent and has a full-time, taxing job, not so in the case of Sabiers, whose history of gainful employment is a secret known only to himself. Councillor Johnson responds to emails conscientiously in my experience EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE INCOMPETENCE AND MENDACITY OF COUNCIL OFFICERS. We have no one who is prepared to call the executive to account. |
