Council Turns Blind Eye

A number of residents have told us that despite repeated complaints Ealing council has taken no action against the owners of a number of properties let out to refugees that are in a state of disrepair, overcrowded, and do not comply with appropriate legislation. You can see for youself in this photo the filthy state of the stairs leading up to the flats.

We also found dangerous light switches with exposed wires as shown on the photo below. Another picture shows the nasty state of one of the windows. What further evidence does the council need?

On request of some residents we have ourselves observed first hand that the people who live in these flats are in the habit of dumping their rubbish on the pavement outside. We are surprised that the so called ‘Wardens’ the council employs have not reported this problem of rubbish dumping.

Cleaner Streets ??

Despite the new conservative administration taking control of Ealing council in 2006, and despite the rhetoric, not much seems to have changed after seven months in power.

Council leader Jason Stacey proclaimed last year “I am determined that this borough s going to get cleaner and be a better place in which to live. This initiative, as part of all the other measures which we have announced so far and are still developing, will play an important role in this.”

Picture below taken in December 2006 – the rubbish on this particular location can be seen every week!
