| My account of The Royal Crimea Guest House covered the years 1980-2000. The bad things that occurred were when there was a Labour Council. The only event that occurred when there was a Conservative one was when the planning officer misled the Planning Committee. He made a sequence of mistakes all to the benefit of the RCGH. There was concern about his integrity. A public meeting was called, attended by around 40 people. Cudmore told us what a splendid chap the officer was, but, when pressed, agreed to meet with a group of us. He took the names. When I rang him to arrange the meeting, his PA told me he had lost the list. There was another source of public nuisance caused by the property. The owner was operating a three-coach service between Ealing and the Ukraine. Her first coach was an old, fumes-disgorging vehicle known as “the Lviv Liner”. A “trading-post” activity was also going on. Large numbers of people were arriving at night to collect goods “imported” for them and bringing goods to be exported. This was conducted on the forecourt and in Hale Gardens. It was a large-scale public nuisance and also a breach of planning regulations. The Council refused even to investigate. The planning enforcement officer was unable to witness three coaches parked on the forecourt! I spent a whole day photographing the event and shamed the Council into taking action. This put an end to the major nuisance (for a while). It coincided with the Council’s being obliged to withdraw its custom from the property and so the years you mention (2006-2010) were ones of relatively low-level nuisance. We had far less contact with the Council in respect of the building. Problems began when new owner took over the place as I descried in my first post. TO THAT RUPA HUQ HAS NOT RESPONDED. SHE HAS HAD LONG ENOUGH. SO, MY ANSWER TO MY OWN QUESTION IS: NO. SHE DOES NOT CARE. |
