Friary Park Redevelopment Gets Green Light
I have been writing about Labour Party corruption and racism for over 40 ye4ars so actions Julian Bell and Yvonne Johnson that are forcing Black Londoners out of their homes comes as no surprise.Planning Committee of 20 Nov 2019 01 - 193424HYBRID Friary Park Estate: The Drive, Joseph Avenue, Sparks Close and Friary Road Acton W3 6NL Declarations of Interests. etc: Young for Morrissey; Mahmood for L Wall; and Manro for Donnelly who all have pages on www.Ealing.gov.uk but no Facebook page that would allow for more transparency in local government.Some Councillors Manro, Ball, Cox, Mahmood, Martin, Raza, R Wall and Woodroofe have visited the estate unlike Sarah Rooney and other Labour Councillor. The all claimed appropriate expenses. Before FPPG begins broadcasting videos of these Councillors the appropriate authorization will be sent to their Ealing Council phones and emails. The Committee noted that the site consisted of 230 dwellings that were in poor condition. The Committee are all home owners, with Liberal Democrat Jon Bell worth over £20 million. A high proportion of the current properties were below existing residential space standards for new build properties, had little access to outdoor space and poor energy efficiency. Catalyst Housing Group here in Ealing and in 40 other local authorities are responsible.Q1 for Manro, Jon Ball et al. Were they aware of the London Borough of Ealing arranging a £70 million for CHG prior to the £30 million Ealing council tax payers are indebted with to demolish these family homes?All refused to answer.Q2 Have they seen the result of that shared ownership Catalyst Housing Group in South Acton or just read about the rat infestation in the sun?All refused to answerQ3 Do they know how much CHG directors and brokers made at the British taxpayers expense?All refused to answerThese questions should be answered by someone at Ealing Council. Why do we subsides the profits of Community Assets Owners at the expense of social housing tenants, is a point I will make again to Mr Young. I do not see the estate as badly laid out, think people should have space and dispute the fact that the design of the estate encouraged antisocial behaviour. Bad management by CHG is the root cause here. I say that as someone who has lived on the estate since July 27, 1989. Daniel Crawford can actually provide any future committee members with evidence and I don't need those. He can also post our correspondence with Dr Huq regarding Catalyst Housing Group directors and staff racially harassing tenants.The CHG scheme may provide 990 new homes, of which 45% would be affordable, along with a replacement community centre, flexible commercial floorspace, landscaping, no social housing but car and cycle parking. Architects for South Housing could have provided 450 social for only £276 million. Nether Catalyst nor Ealing Council were willing to even consider this proposalCurrent social rent for 1 bed room £124. Minimum shared owners loan repayments on for 1 bed room is £345 per week under this Socialist schemes profits banks like Natwest and Santander. All SOWLRs get maximum Housing Benefit in 140 Labour controlled local authorities in England. It is clear the Committee wants all social housing demolished and Richard Brown CBE, banks and brokers to make millions all at the taxpayers expense. Yhe London Borough of Ealing has still not got back to me regarding my complaint is that the Environmental Statement prepared for the Committee failed to comply with the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations and my repeated complaints about what the Planning Department had been identified as ways to mitigate negative environmental impacts of the development are contrived to suit Richard Brown. This is precisely the matter I have raised with Sadiq Kahn and the GLA, the Homes and Communities Agency and the Environmental Law Foundation.The recommendation from Officers was to grant planning permission subject to a stage II referral to the Mayor of London and I can follow that. Obviously had I been allowed to attend I would have raised the matter of Locata which Labour Councillors refuse to discuss. I just feel that Londoners should not be forced out of their homes for individual profit.I would have supported Ms Jan Gayle-Fallow of the Central Acton Neighbourhood Forum: Regeneration of the estate but the scale of the building was too high and not in keeping with the area. There would be negative impacts on existing residents due to the increased number of new residents in the replacement scheme. Negative impact on existing residents would include pressure on existing GP surgeries and schools, as well as increased use of existing open space.All the FPPG was refused permission to present their case for taking over their own blocks and being allowed pets I need to point out 1. FPPG2017 Steve Skuse, of Catalyst Housing refuses to return calls or answers letters. He is a know bully whose actives actually subject to an article published in The Guardian.2. FPP2014-EFHA Cecilia Aridegbe, spoke in favour of the application. Ms A is a long term associate of Richard Brown who enjoys EU funding as well as having London Council taxpayers funding her the taxis does not live on the Friary Park estate. Just the daughter there now. I am informed by former neighbours she was content with the £8,000 payment and move to Dickens Yard in Ealing where she continues to pay social rent of £124 per week.The Friary Park Residents Steering Group was run by CHG staff like current Customer Liaisons Officer Keisha Scott, a Catalyst Housing Neighbourhood co-ordinator on their Quill projectKeisha.Scott@chq.orq.uk 020 8832 3418.Apparently their representation made the following arguments: 1. A range of other options had been considered by the developer to regenerate the site, including refurbishing the existing estate. However they were not financially viable. FPPG want access to essential information CHG denied to their tenants as Richard Brown CBE claims this profit as surplus in order to avoid British tax.2. The market sale properties provided on the site would finance the replacement affordable units, and the new intermediate units.FPPG want to know who provided the Committee with housing price information as it affects everyone. CHG are advertising at £387,000 for a single bedroom. Several of the Buckingham staff are changing fees in arrange CHG Equity Loans.3. The current residents of the estate were broadly in favour of the redevelopment, as the current flats were cramped, in poor condition, expensive to heat, had no lifts and there was little access to outdoor space.FPPG want to know who provided the Committee with this information due to CHG not sending out questionnaires since 2015.I am more than satisfied with the work the Council staff do for Councillor Daniel Crawford, the Ward Councillor who clearly never spoke to the Committee representing FPPG or any Roman Catholic or Buddhist objectors. His party is under investigation for anti-Semitism so I will make not further comment but that Dr Rupa Huq also refused to mediate with Catalyst Housing Group on behalf of tenants who Catalyst Housing tried to evict for rent arrears less than they were due to receive in Housing Benefit.I did not expect Mr Crawford to anything as important as Locata in a public forum because the social housing allocation system has been manipulated to move Ealing Council staff.The Committee heard nothing from current residents, where they were going to go and I am grateful that Ealing Council has made that perfectly clear.
