Comment on: Housing officer in jail threat over ant infestation
"WATT WATT | 27/05/2011 10:18 am
Are you reading housing officers? - she's on £152k ;-)"
Krustallos | 27/05/2011 9:38 am said that is a bit of a poser question - - ?
Cain | 27/05/2011 9:43 am said "Its the instrument of law that is being talked about not who is paid what."
I am sorry it is integral part of the article reports how much the housing officer is paid. So her salary is being talked about. And while you might find it irrelevant some others might find it very relevant. -

Comment on: Housing officer in jail threat over ant infestation
That's exaclty my point A council canno sue itself. Therefeore it is a conspiracy. The Health Officer in ieach borrough should be completely independent, maybe part of DHS department. For the same reason Health officers do not sue Housing Associations because it would be a social landlord suing another social landlord and they would have to apply the result or any court actions to themselves too.
Where does this leave tenants? Especially those who can't for any reason get access to a law firm? -

"Ms Foster was revealed as one of the highest paid housing officer in England in an Inside Housing survey of 20 local authorities, earning £152,190 a year."
Well, how come she earns so much to start with in one of the most needy council in the land?
Secondly, why Lambeth Health Officer did not take Lambeth to court about this that the tenant had to use a private law firm?

Posted in: Can violence ever be a valid form of protest against the cuts?
the violence was not as violent as you believe or are made to believe. If you look at the pictures in the papers it is always the same pictures from one paper to the other, which shows there really was not such an extensive variety of violence.No one will remember the violence in a year's time... Political commentators in a years time will only rememebr the unexpected, massive participation even by union standards... those of us who were there there will remember for the rest of their lives another great, unparalled experience of popular expression and democracy. And for the young, they will never forget that you do not need to be afraid of governments when they are unfair.

Posted in: WHAT'S THE POINT?
What you say is all very well, but what power or rights are you given in eschange of your involvment?...
Secondly, if it is about holding you landlord to account, and the lanlord fails in it's duty, can you and colleauge tenants sack the lanlord and disband the boad and replace it with better people?
It seems tenants involvment is given for free, while tenants rights are being denied with each new day. Be all means involved but do it if you are given the powers to lead the involvment and not be used for your landlord to tick boxes.

And so what if it does?

Or it might be London and Quadrant was going to take the tenant to court for refusing to pay - but then L&Q settled out of court in favour of the tenant.

Posted in: ADMIN CHARGES FOR TENANTS
A tenant brought a case against London and Quadrant for not delivering services or something like that. For what I know it did not go to court because L&Q chose to settle out of court and compensated the tenant.
This shows that if services are not provided you have all the right to refuse to pay for them.
