I wrote a shortish piece on estate demolition. I look at the economics of demolition, managed decline, class dynamics, and dodgy ballots. Give it a read if you get the chance 👇 medium.com/@DavidUW/estat…
Finally some good news! The Aylesbury estate has been granted a reprieve! The High Court has sent @NHGhousing's destructive scheme back to the drawing board! caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/admin/202…
Our 13 year old daughter has spent near 6 months in 1 room with no kitchen or private space at TolworthTravelodge, her physical & mental health pushed to the max. Now she must start choosing her GCSEs immersed in continuing uncertainty. Is this ok? @RBKingston @KingstonLibDems
FT (£) The £4.2bn Housing Infrastructure Fund was created in 2017 in an attempt to jump-start housebuilding by providing local authorities with grant funding for key infrastructure. However, just £1.3bn of the pot has been spent. ft.com/content/19774a… via @FT
There is a lot of noise around former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells after the serving Post Office minister called for her to hand back her CBE. If you want to read the full story about Vennells and her cronies, please start here: postofficetrial.com/2021/04/vennel… #PostOfficeScandal

Absolutely gut wrenching stuff. “About 1.2m households in England are on a waiting list. In the decade to 22 there was a net loss of 165k social homes, as sales and demolitions outpaced new supply. 279,400 people are now stuck in temporary accommodation, according to Shelter”.

@KingstonNubNews If the Lib Dems want to save essential services they could look closer to home and stop wasting cash on vanity projects and employing ever more fat cats on £100k salaries.

5 months #HomelessInKingston - The extra videos/pic show how our daughter would have begun/ended her school day had we allowed @RBKingston to manipulate us into accepting this flat! We’re still in 1 room & still waiting on @KingstonLibDems to tell us this is unacceptable!
This is wrong @HMCTSgovuk There is an automatic entitlement to copies of judgments handed down in open court We don’t have secret judgments in England!
Less than 10 years ago #Lambeth spent over £550M on a Decent Homes programme. Now they are telling us that over 1 in 5 homes isn't decent: moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieListDocument… Tens if not hundreds of millions spent on sub-standard (or non existent) work @gamecounsel @Jason_Cobb

Thames Water wants to increase customer bills by 40% before inflation by 2030. Thames has handed billions in dividends to shareholders, picked customer pockets. Now want 40% price rise in real terms. NOT acceptable. Let Thames go bust. Nationalise it. archive.ph/MdF8L
Did you know the Tories intend to surveil the bank accounts of up to 22m people receiving benefits, without consent, warning or reason? The Tory war on the poor now includes spying. They say it’ll save £100m, meanwhile Sunak writes off £16bn in covid fraud. Know your enemy.
Important this because as more and more councils are claiming they are broke, the provision of suitable housing is not something they can ignore #Housing

@myldn Can we just correct this idea of “750” new homes First: most of these homes are so-called replacements for those being knocked down Second: many of the homes on the estate were houses or maisonettes, each with a private green space. All replacements are flats: no private space

@PXGray @JamesGilesRBK @RBKIndependents I think the concept of party whip should be disbanded entirely. It’s impossible for democracy to function when the elected representatives are stifled in their representation. Good Government shouldn’t just be about getting things done, it should be about getting things done…

Section 2 of the 2006 Act: It is an offence to make a false representation with the intention of making a gain or exposing another to a risk of loss. This is not conceptually difficult material.
A small number of public authorities in Cambridgeshire need to do some extensive training for officers on the provisions and application of the Fraud Act 2006.
