1. Carrying out continuous and totally invasive surveillance activity against me for eight years and five months 24/7 precludes any participation in tenant management because this activity against me has involved tenant management itself in continuous unlawful and criminal activity.
How is it possible to participate in any manner in the Lancaster West Estate Management Board (EMB) as the note received today (see below) requests? There is no return address or contact information and no location for the North Kenstington Resource Centre provided. This is the first I've been notified in any official manner that their is a new EMB Chairman, R S V Bryans, and I am a member of the EMB. There has been no newsletter or notification of change in the EMB management. I did notice somewhere that some change occurred last May 2006 from Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) AGM information noting that the former EMB Chairman Dr Arkas resigned at that time. I also noted that there was a change in the Corporate Secretary at the TMO at this same time. He was the one who tried to block my communication to the TMO Board members by contributing to a coverup from the TMO Chief Executive.
It has appeared to me that the EMB has dropped off the radar entirely until I received this note by hand this morning asking "Would you like your voice heard on the running of Lancaster West Estate? Do you have views on how things could be improved?" These are bombshells of questions given my experience over the past almost eleven years of residency here including the past eight years and five months of 24/7 totally invasive surveillance activity carried out by the tenants, residence, their friends and relatives and others all intended to destroy human activity and life. The EMB is a criminal organisation and has to be held responsible and accountable for all that has happened to me during all these years. This includes every person who has participated in this tenant management process in any way including all board members, officers and other members. It also includes the Tenant and Residents Association (TRA) as well as the TMO. There will have to be a trial to determine the allocation of liability, but everyone involved has a personal civil and criminal liability for all that has occurred to me.
Facts of Deliberate Mismanagement Which Put the Lives of Tenants and Residents at Risk
Who would what to participate in an organisation that has a continuous track record of unlawful and criminal behaviour 24/7 including while I am writing this? Tenant management has shown itself to be corrupt by serving the self interest of those in charge rather than address the problems which directly impact the safety and health of all the residents for all these years.
Tenant Management is a Ruse to Get People to Accept Substandard Management with Scapegoat Psychology Used To Build Tenant Management and Provide an Excuse for Failure
It is my belief that this activity by tenant management is a deliberate effort to intentionally undermanage and carry out activity in order to create a scapegoat to drive people into its management activity as a means of solving these problems which have never been solved for many years. It is considered harassment to allow activities to continue which will drive people out of their homes in order to get rid of those who report problems such as I've been doing for all the years of my residency including serious crimes and antisocial behaviour. By keeping me subjected to surveillance technology abuse 24/7 I am falsely blamed for problems which others using this surveillance technology deliberately create. This is well known to many who have observed and commented on these fabrications. However, the activity of those using the surveillance technology for eight years and five months 24/7 has never been stopped despite the fact that tenant management knows all about it including those who are involved and where they are located.
Tenant management has carried out extensive stalking and harassment against me involving scores of people located under my windows nightly for many years. These groups have rotated from night to night to ensure the participation of all who wanted to be part of this tenant management activity. I have personally witnessed a former Estate Officer present with this group of people outside my flat. I have communicated extensive log information to tenant management about this activity, but nothing has ever been done to stop it when it is a simple process of coming out in the evening and seeing these large groups of people assembled.
The note from R S V Bryans provided below ends with "Remember nothing can be changed without your help and support
We look forward to meeting you " This is outrageously false. The surveillance technology abuse carried out against me 24/7 can be stopped in an instant by tenant management, and they have a legal responsibility to end such unlawful and criminal activity which includes perverting the course of justice, torture (cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment) and attempted murder. It does not take the participation of anyone to do this. All the information is already well known to tenant management with years of copious correspondence from me. It is prima facie evidence and proof of my assertion above that tenant management seeks to use such surveillance activity to fabricate allegations to create an "enemy," "threat" and "danger" who "needs to be watched" in order to create an atmosphere of fear for which it then provides the means of addressing these problems by trying to recruit people into its fold as this note distributed this morning reveals.
Creating a false problem like this also creates a convenient excuse for not getting anything done. The massive effort against me during all these years has redirected resources of all kinds away from addressing key safety and health problems affecting all residents just like building 38 business units in the Barandon Road has redirected attention and financial resources away from serving the needs of the tenants and residents.
Anyone participating in this organisation will be participating in a criminal organisation and will be subject to prosecution for its unlawful and criminal acts including a personal liability.
The Lancaster West Estate Management Board and the "Company Union" Called the Tenants and Residents Association Must Be Abolished
There is only one decision that can be made about the Lancaster West Estate Management Board (EMB) and the Lancaster West Tenant and Residents Association (TRA) which is to abolish them and fold all of their activity into the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea's Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) so that there will be a focus of responsibility and accountability that is not dispersed to these other organisations who have no legal responsibility and accountability to the tenants at all because tenancy agreements are made with the TMO.
Here is the EMB asking for help in "running" the Lancaster West Estate and asking for "views on how things could be improved" while telling everyone that "nothing can be changed without your help and support." What is really being said here? My tenancy agreement is with the TMO. I do not know anything about the EMB which has been created by the Council. The EMB has power but no responsibility or accountability to me legally. It is responsible to the Council. That's why Keith Stevens told me last year that he works for the Council when there was an EMB emblem on his jacket.
I take this note received today (see below) as blackmail. The EMB makes decisions about what happens here, and unless people participate this note states, they will not get the "change" they want when the its the "needs" of the Estate that are essential and can be addressed without any input from anyone. What does he mean by "change" here? All that has to be done is to manage the Estate with respect to fundamental standards of safety and health for the well being of the tenants and residents. This has not been done, and anyone like me who documents and reports the problems will not get what they "want."
Is this what he means by "change." This is blackmail on top of the fact that I have been punished in the extreme by failure to repair and the use of surveillance technology against me 24/7 for many, many years. My balcony remains in a state of disrepair which was deliberately created on or about 5th June 1998. I have been punished in every way possible which is not lost on everyone else as an example of the ferocious abuse of power the EMB can bring to bear on anyone it does not like. History has shown that the EMB has done what coincides with the self-interest of those in charge as I described above. The EMB has not provided fundamental management for everyone's benefit most especially with regard to safety and health on the Lancaster West Estate.
Conflict and Confusion with Power and Responsibility Separated in Organisational Management Chaos Euphemistically Called Tenant Management
The TMO has been emasculated and sits by as the source of legal responsibility and accountability unable to do anything because the Council has formed a separate agreement with the EMB to "run" the Lancaster West Estate. This leaves the EMB free to carry out the kind of activity against me which ensures that its deliberate disregard of the proper management of the Lancaster West Estate can be accomplished while discrediting me with this incredible repression using surveillance technology in the hands of tenants, residents and others for eight years and five months 24/7.
The TMO is not let off the hook, however, for it has a clear legal responsibility and accountability to ensure that these unlawful and criminal activities do not occur at all in any manner at any time. They have not done this. In fact the TMO Chief Executive should be replaced forthwith. He has not brought about the standards which he vowed to do when becoming the TMO Chief Executive. In fact, he said that he would do it within two years many years ago. Instead, he has sought to cover up the problems which I reported to the TMO Board last year, and he did not act when I brought the problem of the central heating to his direct attention twice starting in early August 2003 during that extraordnary heat wave which killed some 2,000 in the UK.
There is only one change which will lead to the end of this unlawful and criminal activity: the EMB and TRA must be abolished forthwith with all these activity passed to the TMO where a focus of responsibility and accountability will exist for one organisation to carry out what is proper with respect to management. This might not be the answser, but it is a step in the right direction. It might very well turn out that the TMO will have to abolished as well with the management of the properties returning to its owner: the Council.
Emails of Yesterday and the Day Before Highlight The Essence of Tenant Management's Failures
I have sent the following Emails over the past two days with respect to the extensive 24/7 activity carried out against me including collusion between those using the surveillance technology and those who are their relatives in the flat below mine. Below are copies of these Emails beginning with the one that went out yesterday followed by the one that went out the day before. Then I got this note discussed above which is included at the end this morning. How can I possibly participate in an organisation that I know conducts unlawful and criminal activity? What is the purpose in sending out this note immediately after these two extraordinary Emails from me? Taking care of the problems I described in these Emails does not require participaint in the EMB to bring about "change." I have always seen this activity against me as a means to build tenant management while keeping track of all that I do to neutralise my accurate reporting of what is occurring to enable image management instead of real management.

Subject: Continuous Deliberate Disruption By Excessive Noises Including Very Loud Shouting From the Flat Below For Almost Two Hours From 0700
B Date: Wednesday 24 January 2007 10:29

Area Manager TMO/EMB
Lancaster West Estate
Grenfell Tower
Dear Mr Donnelly
Starting at a couple minutes before 0700 and continuing until driving me out of bed about 0845, there was the most incredibly deliberate series of disturbances from the flat below.
During this entire time, I was filmed and recorded by separate media on my bed trying to sleep and noting all that was happening. I made no noise whatsoever except to note in a whisper on the note taking audio recorder all this activity while I was trying to sleep.
From about 0800 onwards it was continuous and extraordinarily loud with shouting from a female below yelling "I'm not paying. I'm not paying for this."
False allegations continued coming in the bedroom window along with incitements to "get him out" made in the most extreme bullying hysterical manner from various male and female voices. At one point a male said "All right we'll get him out." The very excessive noises of thuds, thumps and very fast running in place sounds continued from below during this verbal abuse.
After I got up about 0845 and was preparing to leave the bedroom, there was a very hard, loud door slam below that was preceded by a bar grate clanking noise confirming that it came from the flat below. Shortly before this I heard a male in the Walkway saying "I can hear him" with a female saying "You can?"
This was an obvious set up from those associated with the flat below to create false allegations and make noises which are then attributed to me. I have a voice recording from a public declaration confirming the fact that a setup was being undertaken which has been passed along earlier. This is part of that ongoing activity especially after yesterday's Email to you.
These people evidently feel immune to any action which might be taken against them and consider themselves free to behave in any manner they choose which has occurred for well over eight years 24/7. They intimidate others into submission by their extreme bullying abuse shouting at the top of their voices using a large number of people [family members who do not live here] to do so. The use of the surveillance technology by the daughter of the tenant in the flat below is part of this.
Evidently they feel that they can do whatever they please after 0700, but this is not normal activity. Is is a deliberate disturbance of excessive proportions carried on for an extended period of time which is intended to disturb as much as possible in order to falsely accuse me of various activities which can all be shown to be false.
I am entitled to the quiet enjoyment of the premises 24/7 which is exactly what I do. All of this activity comes from external sources which is centred around and derived from those associated with the flat below. This has been occurring since 11th and 13th May 1998 when [BS] the daughter of [Mother of BS] the tenant of the flat below both publicly declared amid a large group of people out front revenge and retaliation for my having reported their child abuse at that time and started this stalking and harassment campaign.
That child abuse has manifested itself in the creation of an antisocial bully, [Son of BS] [BS]'s son, who now shouts the same abuse publicly as they [did] after I reported the child abuse just under eight years and nine months ago. He has been trained and developed as an antisocial, bullying personality by all that his parents and the adults around him have done throughout all these years.
[Son of BS] has participated in the surveillance technology abuse as a child throughout this period himself. It was his activity from the flat above eight years ago which helped confirm the nature of the surveillance technology being used. I believe that much of the loud thuds, thumps, hits and especially the very loud stomping and running in place are created by him which was referred to publicly as a "set up" that I recorded when he was engaging in public verbal abuse of me that I sent along earlier. All of this has been carried out with adult support and incitement throughout these years.
That child abuse violence reported initially on 5th May 1998 was then also directed against me following police intervention on 8th May 1998 and supplemented by the installation of surveillance technology in mid-August 1998 which has continued 24/7 up to and including this writing. The intent is to be as provocative as possible and then personally attack me for what I report in the hopes of discrediting such reporting and thereby exonerate themselves from their original and ongoing antisocial and criminal behaviour.
The pattern of yesterday's and today's stalking and harassment activity reflects the same pattern of activity which commenced in 1998 as described above and has been maintained 24/7 throughout all these years since that time.
Just as I finished this Email and checking it, Lt Harry Bird stated "We really hurt him." This reflected the intention of the sadistic bully who wants to see the impact of that bullying on his victim. This confirms that all of this activity has been intentional and surveillance technology coordinated with harm as its objective. I made note of this on my video record as I continued with its documentation and testimony statement about what was occurring while I wrote this Email.
Yesterday's and today's activity constitutes an unlawful act under the Protection From Harassment Act Of 1997 in that two such examples of harassment have occurred which have been fully documented including hard evidence and a number of witnesses although these are with those carrying out the stalking and harassment. This constitutes grounds for civil proceedings which tenant management can now initiate in order to obtain for me civil court protection against further such harassment. I fully expect tenant management to do so.
Further, there is a criminal offence here as a result of inducing a fear of violence associated with the incitement to "get him out" and in this instance the acknowledgement of this incitement [with] "All right. We'll get him out." Not only does this consitute criminal harassment under the Protection From Harassment Act Of 1997, but any such action against me in the future will confirm this criminal harassment. You can read the Protection From Harassment Act of 1997 on my web site if you want to see its explicit language. Please note that all I have to do is "apprehend" that I am being so harassed for its provisions to be valid. Read the law.
You now have two clear and consecutive examples of harassment which are part of a long outstanding pattern of such harassment upon which to proceed legally to bring all of this to a halt by addressing those who are the source of the problem. This is all that is required under the law to seek protection for me. I fully expect you to commence such legal proceedings forthwith. Failure to do so will consitute support for such unlawful and criminal behaviour and involve you directly in the stalking and harassment activity.
The key to proceeding immediately to gain such protective relief for me as provided by the law is intended to enable the harassment victim to be free from such harassment and its harm while fully developing evidence and documentation for further legal proceedings which stalking and harassment seeks to prevent. That's what the law is intended to provide as protection.
This can be done either in the civil or criminal court in this matter for injunctive relief or a restraining order. Injunctive relief is the usual route.
For your own information I suggest that you read "Harassment Law & Practice" by Neil Addison & Timothy Lawson-Cruttenden , Blackstone Press Limited, London 1998. I'm sure there is another edition or two since mine which I purchased in 2001 at the publisher which is located conveniently nearby in Shepherd's Bush at Aldine Place, London W12 8AA (0208 740 2277). This is a handy book to have around for reference purposes as a foundation for any exploration of the law and procedures in the areas it covers.
I was also instrumental in getting the Kensington & Chelsea Town Hall Library to purchase at least one copy of this book in 2001 along with a Westminister Council library who purchased several copies since it was such a valuable book containing other housing related law and issues including domestic violence and public nuisance as well as the Human Rights Act of 1998 and the Noise Act of 1996. Anyone should be able to find this book in the Town Hall Library.
There is no excuse for anyone's ignorance in this matter.
As part of a frequent pattern of threats against me, Lt Harry Bird made reference to ". . . kill him" while I was writing the above which I "apprehended" as part of a pattern of death threats made against me by him, [BS], [Partner of BS], [Mother of BS] and others associated with the flat below which commenced in July 1998 when [Partner of BS] made such a public death threat out front. I believe that what Lt Harry Bird said was "I'll kill him," but I only heard the last two words clearly. This abuse never stops.
Yours sincerely

Subject: A Tenant Management Problem: Extensive Antisocial Behaviour From the Flat Below Continues Unabated in Conjunction with Surveillance Technology Abuse
Date: Tuesday 23 January 2007 11:47
From: Gary D Chance
To: ***************@kctmo.org.uk, ****************@met.police.uk
Damian Donnelly
Area Manager TMO/EMB
Lancaster West Estate
Grenfell Tower
Dear Mr Donnelly
A. The events described below document[ed] with hard evidence the activity and collusion which is taking place between those using the surveillance technology and those in the flat below to set me up with regard to false allegations made last night that are used to support a demand to "Get him out" all of which occurred last night.
There is further comment about the excessive noises which continued to occur up to 0900 from these and other close by sources. This activity would not be so bad except for the fact of the all night abuse to which I am deliberately subjected by these people depriving me of sleep which continues up to 0900 by means of antisocial behaviour. In this instance last night I was driven out of bed shortly before 0800 after less than five hours of quite fragmented sleep as described. While the tennis playing was not an excessive problem at this time, it could have been.
After 0900 works began in the road with an air hammer. This is normal, to be expected and essential. However, those carrying out the abuse all night long have their activity reinforced by these other disturbances which make them quite happy. In the meantime, I am denied the quiet enjoyment of the premises.
1. Tennis playing in the Walkway
On Saturday (20.01.2007) shortly before noon I returned from shopping and noted two young girls playing tennis in the Walkway at this end. The door to an adjacent flat was ajar. I thought that they might be from this flat.
This morning at about 0830 there was more tennis playing in the Walkway while I was taking a bath. Again, it sounded like these two young girls.
I'm delighted to see these children taking up sports of any kind, but the Walkway is not a playground as your signs have indicated for many years. There are excellent tennis courts provided nearby in two parks: one on St Marks Road that can be easily accessed by walking straight down Bramley and St Helen's Roads and the other easily accessed on the other side of the Estate from Mary Place off Sirdar Road. Perhaps these parents don't know about these tennis courts.
Parents should be encouraged to take their children to these parks to play tennis. Although the courts have to be reserved, this is really a splendid resource provided by the Council which should be utilised, and here are a couple candidates perhaps along with parents who might find this excellent.
2. Extensive noises continue from the flat below in the middle of the night coupled with surveillance technology abuse by [BS] and Lt Harry Bird waking me frequently throughout the night.
Last night as I began to go to bed about 0130 this morning, there were extensive noises coming from below after I first entered the bedroom. I made no noises at all. These continued after I was in bed at 0145 and trying to get to sleep with the following disruptions coming from below and in through the bedroom window:.
0152 Female yelling away making a false allegation about my activity. Acoustic sound.
0155 Loud female voice. Acoustic sound.
0156 This female outside [coming in bedroom window] saying "Get him out" while there was someone stomping from below. Acoustic sound.
0157 "I have a real problem with this," said a male. Acoustic sound.
0158 Male said "Psycho," and female talking away. Acoustic sound.
[Fell asleep for only about ten minutes]
0210 False allegation from [BS] as I woke after just getting to sleep for about ten minutes.
0212 "Potty as hell, 100%," says [BS]. Surveillance technology sound.
[Fell asleep for less than an hour]
0303 I was woken again by further noises from below which I described as loud thuds and jumping around from below the bed by the wall: "I was asleep and woken by this," I described.
[Fell asleep for about an hour]
0404 Woken. "Get your big hands off me," sounded like [BS] while I was in the bathroom. Surveillance technology sound.
[Fell asleep for about 3/4 of an hour]
0453 Pulled on duvet due to cold and subjected to verbal abuse from surveillance technology use.
0454 [BS] says "That's unfair," as I put the duvet over me. Trying to control my sleep depriving me of warmth on these cold nights. Surveillance technology sound.
0456 "Embarrassing," said Lt Harry Bird. Surveillance technology sound.
[Fell asleep for just over two hours: total sleep time under five hours]
0706 Woken and kept awake and driven out of bed at 0755 by the abuse from the surveillance technology.
All of my activity above can be verified by continuous video and separate audio recordings throughout this time period. The allegations made are false, and the activity carried out comes from another source as an apparent set up to blame me for what these people are doing themselves in the flat below. These people associated with the flat below then make false allegations about my activity coming both through the bedroom window acoustically and from [BS] by means of the surveillance technology sound.
3. Excessive door slamming, bar grate clanking and yelling by a child in the Walkway whom I believe to be [Son of BS] the son of [BS].
Thursday, 18.01.2007:
0837 [Son of BS] yelled "Wooo" six separate times from the Walkway which were recorded by both the separate audio and video recordings of me in the bedroom. These yellings were so loud that they woke me from a sound sleep and were recorded on the media inside my bedroom. They were followed by an incredibly loud door slam from below.
Monday, 22.01.2007:
0806 Hit from below followed by loud door slam then a bar grate noise from below.
This "Woo" sound is used frequently by [Son of BS] and others. It has been in use for well over eight years starting in the autumn of 1998. They have been waking me continuously throughout the night for all these years. One of the key points in doing so in addition to depriving me of sleep is to try to cause me to talk in my sleep as I wake. If this occurs, they then make false allegations.
Even if these deliberate disturbances do not cause me to talk in my sleep which they rarely if ever do, these people make the false allegations anyway as occurred last night. I make the separate video and audio recordings of myself throughout the night to prove that these allegations are false, be able to show exactly what I am doing and conclusively demonstrate the impact of this extreme abuse. The "Wooo" noise made by [Son of BS] is supposed to be an imitation of the sound I am purported to make. I have a significant number of hard evidence recordings of this coming from public areas as the one above.
B. Other antisocial behaviour
1. The push chairs have once again become a permanent fixture across the Walkway.
2. The bicycle tied to the railing near a flat on this level across the Walkway has become a permanent fixture.
3. As of Saturday morning last (20.01.2007) the safety door on the second floor rubbish chute had not been replaced. This has been out for about six weeks.
C. Police request for a visit to the premises made on Friday last (19.01.2007).
The police sent me an Email last Friday morning 19.01.2007 at 0903 requesting a visit to the premises this week. I refused and provided an extensive explanation as to why. The police indicated that someone had suggested I would want the police to visit. I am outraged that they contacted me requesting such a visit and am further outraged that this came from another source indicating that I wanted a visit from the police.
I have notified you about Alan Hunter's misconduct and failure to do a proper job. I have sent you direct evidence of the fact of this failure. He indicated to me that
1) no one else was reporting the noises I was reporting;
2) that I should file a formal police report; and
3) that he would be available for mediation.
My reply has been as follows:
1) I have shown you with direct evidence directly associated with flat below that others have complained about the noise nuisance coming from this flat.
2) I deeply resent and reject your efforts to push a tenant management problem off onto the police; and
3) There is nothing to mediate here since all of the problems originate from those associated with the flat below, and I do nothing other than try to stop them properly.
I will contact whomever I believe it appropriate with respect to receiving this information, and I fully expect you to do your job thoroughly and completely to ensure that the provisions of the tenancy agreement are properly enforced against those who persist in maintaining nuisance behaviour which clearly violates the terms of their tenancy agreement. I am, of course, referring to those associated with the flat below as once again illustrated by the events described above which are supported with hard evidence.
Do not under any circumstances tell anyone to contact me about visiting the premises when you have failed miserably to do your job properly.
It is quite obvious to me that these people would not be doing what they are as described above if they were not supported by those in various positions of authority who witness all that is happening without stopping it.
I call this institutionalised ritual abuse.
Yours sincerely
Gary D Chance

2. After finishing the above, some extraordinary statistics emerged about stalking and harassment for both male and female which were reported on BBC News24. It's amazing to note that there are a significant number of men who are stalked with their proportion approaching that of women. Almost 10% of women reported being stalked in the past year while 7% of men reported being stalked. This is an astounding number of men and women. As I have described above, this is another aspect of this criminal activity that is a product of government who is carrying this out.
This is a most difficult of crimes for it is continuous crime. It never ends and goes on around the clock nonstop. I wonder how stalking and harassment are incorporated into the overall crime statistics. The number of its victims in the UK is astonishing. People think that this crime is all right for them to carry out. It's a question of being able to get away with this most destructive of crimes which is quite easy which my experience has documented for the past eight years, eight months and two weeks as of today. Well, it's quite easy when the government and those charged with law enforcement support and participate in the stalking and harassment against me.
BBC News24 Thursday, 25 January 2007, 17:40 GMT
Risk of suffering crime 'rises'
 Recorded crime as a whole has fallen |
The risk of becoming a victim of crime in England and Wales is rising for the first time since 1995, figures suggest.
The British Crime Survey, regarded as the most reliable measure of crime by the Home Office, said the risk had risen one percentage point to 24.3%.
In a separate measure, the number of crimes reported to police had fallen 3% in the third quarter of 2006 compared with the same period the previous year.
Both recorded crime and the BCS suggested rises in robberies.
The risk of becoming a victim of crime is still lower than its peak of 40% in 1995.
Almost one in 10 women - and 7% of men - told the BCS they had suffered from stalking over the past year. Almost a quarter of women said they had been stalked in their lifetimes.
