The Tenant Management Organistion (TMO) Link magazine arrived today celebrating the Three Star award as a result of the Audit Commission inspection this past July. I find it incredible that this has occurred especially when I look at my balcony disrepair which was created on or about 5th June 1998 which remains in a state of disrepair today. But far worse is the fact of the extreme criminal harassment being carried out against me by tenant management in all its organisational manifestations using surveillance technology in the hands of the tenants, relatives, friends and others for over eight years and two months which started in August 1998 instead of repairing the balcony. The surveillance technology driven harassment is intent upon killing which is clearly threatened against me with statements that it will go on indefinitely until I am dead. This does not hold out much prospect for improvement, does it? Three stars were granted on the basis of a prospect for improvement. Hardly deserving I would say.
One week ago today I received the notification letter for the forthcoming TMO Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on Monday, 13th November 2006 at the Town Hall with the Right Honourable Sir Malcolm Rifkind MP speaking. He is the MP for Kensington and Chelsea not North Kensington where I live. Karen Buck of the Labour Party represents North Kensington. Sir Malcolm is a Conservative, and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea is a Conservative Council with 50 of the 54 Councillors Conservatives. The Council is managed along the Parliamentary model with a Leader selected by the majority party who then appoints a cabinet. Three of the four Labour Party Councillors represent this Notting Barns area.
I note in the minutes for last year's AGM held on 14th November 2005 that there were 143 TMO members present with 43 members absent. I was one of those absent due to the fact of the surveillance technology abuse carried out against me 24/7. However, I want to point out that out of 10,000 residential units in the Royal Borough there are apparently 186 members of the TMO. I draw the conclusion that the TMO is hardly a representative organisation for the tenants in the Royal Borough who occupy Council housing. At the very most this reflects 1.86% of the Council flat residents if there were just one per flat. I will stand corrected if the TMO wishes to release the current figures and numbers of actual residents in Council housing.
I want to further describe once again the mismash of organisations which claim to have a management role in this Lancaster West Estate environment which consists of some 900 residential units or about 9% of the Royal Borough's housing stock. The Council itself has created two separate tenant management organisations: the TMO and the Lancaser West Estate Managemnet Board (EMB). On top of this the TMO has also created the Lancaster West Tenant and Residents Association (TRA). There are four organisations responsible for managing the Lancaster West Estate with its 9% of the Housing stock of the Royal Borough. These are the TMO, EMB, TRA and the Council itself since it has created two conflicting and competing tenant management organisations.
In this extraordinary conglomeration of conflicting and competing management organisations where accountabilty and responsibiltiy are lost it is no wonder that repairs like my balcony languish for well over eight years and the tenants feel free to carry out extensive unlawful and criminal activity with the use of surveillance technology 24/7 for over eight years instead of repair. This is punishment and destruction in the extreme including attempted murder. Every effort is made to block my addressing the problems at their source including legal proceedings iniatated in the High Court in March 2001 against these organisations and some of the people involved. They all have a vested interest in perverting the course of justice (a criminal offense) if they can get away with it which has been done so far.
The TMO letter announcing the AGM was dated on 12th October 2006 but received on 18th October 2006. I do not believe that this constitutes proper legal notification for the AGM. There was a form enclosed for submitting questions to be asked at the AGM. This had to be returned by tomorrow, 26th October 2006. This only allowed one week to formulate the only one question allowed per member. There was an envelope enclosed for returning this question form to the TMO. It was prepaid for 2nd class postage. The last 2nd class letter of any importance I received recently took about a week to be delivered by the Royal Mail. In addition, questions can only be about corporate matters and not personal, home or Estate business. I do not believe that they are allowing enough time to formulate and post a question to meet their deadline. By limiting the questions those in charge can also disallow questions which they want to suppress such as any I might ask.
I've got serious questions about corporate governance based upon my unfortunate experience this past year when I attempted to notify the Board of Directors about the extensive criminal activity being carried out against me conincident with the disregarded balcony repair each of which has been carried out for more than eight years. There was also the problem of the central heating which was left on for several years throughout the summer despite my having notifed the TMO Chief Executive and Leader of the Council on an emergency basis in early August 2003 with two separate correspondences each separated by 24 hours because of the emergency nature of the problem. I did not receive a reply until October 2003 after yet another letter to the TMO Chief Executive in early September 2003. The reply was nonsense and irrelevant.
This emergency situation recurred in June 2005 at which time I notified the media because nothing had been done to address the problem, and nothing had been written about it to notify residents. The central heating problem was not repaired until this past summer, and then the boilers were not replaced as should have been undertaken. Instead, each individual flat was accessed to replace the flow control valves there. The heat and hot water were out Monday morning last a couple days ago for the second time on a Monday morning recently. Extraordinary rises in the fuel cost for the heat and hot water have now been assessed and are creating an onerous financial burden for residents. Why didn't the TMO address this problem in 2003 when I raised the issue several times during a heat wave which was responsible for 2,000 deaths in the UK?
Instead of actually managing the Estate for the benefit, health and safety of the residents of the 900 units, over one million GBP was spent on the construction of 38 business units in the basement of Barandon Walk called Barandon Road. It was not just my balcony repair which was disregarded but the most serious problem of the central heating was deliberately ignored as well while an excessive amount of money was spent on the construction of 38 busines units. At the same time I was subjected to intense abuse from 24/7 surveillance technology usage to destroy human activity in order to either silence me or discredit what I was reporting.
I was cut off from reporting these life threatening problems to the Board of Diectors by a letter from the Company Secretary trying to prevent me from sending communications to the home address of each Director. He also indicated that any correspondence I sent to the Directors would be forwarded unanswered to the TMO Chief Executive as he described his instructions to the Board of Directors. There was most certainly a concerted effort to cover up by TMO management of what I had to report to the Directors which entirely justified my sending each one a personal letter to his or her home the information for which is publicly available from Companies House for just such a purpose.
The Directors have a legal responsibility with regard to oversight of the TMO management which was being denied by the actions of the Company Secretary and, presumably, the TMO Chief Executive who appeared to be protecting himself against the recognition of his gross mismanagement and maladministration. The Company Secretary resigned in May 2006 shortly after this incident. Also of note is the fact that Dr E Arkas, EMB Chair, resigned as an "Observer" from the TMO in May 2006 too. In subsequent months the surveillance technology abuse against me intensified and continued to cause extreme disruption to my actvity while threatening my life.
The TMO and the other tenant management organisations are directly responsible along with others for this deliberate attempt to destroy human life just as the balcony was put deliberately into a state of disrepair in June 1998 followed by surveilance activity commending in August 1998. These deliberate efforts to crush human life including a failure to repair are part of an overall pattern of such abuse carried out continuously against me. It flies in the face of everything that the TMO, other tenant management organisations and the Council should represents and make certain never happens under any circumstances.
My questions are not confined to one simple question which can be written on a few lines of a form nor do I have any confidence that any such question(s) will be included in the agenda and made known to all present at the AGM let alone answered in any meaningful way all of which should be included in the AGM minutes. Further, it is impossible for me to attend the AGM due to the totally invasive surveillance carried out against me intended to destroy all human activity. It succeeds in this instance. Therefore, I am left with only a legal recourse to address these problems of corporate governance which endanger the safety and health of the residents of the Lancaster West Estate. The totally invasive character and abuse from the surveillance technology precludes any legal recourse which I have already undertaken only to have it destroyed by such abuse. As a result, the TMO remains a corrupt criminal organisation financially impacting residents for the TMO's gross mismanagement and maladministration along with its efforts to pervert the course of justice.
Recent representations by the TMO in its publications are self serving and do not reflect the historical reality of the behaviour of those in responsible positions. I shall be dealing with these publicly represented issues in the days running up to the TMO AGM on Monday, 13th November 2006, provided that those using the surveillance technology do not destroy my life as they state is their intention.
The photograph below shows the current state of the balcony's disrepair. Four weeks ago today this work was accomplished. Nothing has been done since most of which is attributable to rain (it's wet today as can be seen along the right) although there have been enough dry days however few to complete this repair. Four weeks ago Friday last a scaffolding was erected in the rain to carry out this repair. The following Wednesday a couple hours of work were carried out in the afternoon which, and the balcony left like this. Despite having a scaffolding from which to work, the sealant was not placed on the entire balcony. The contractor(s) have thus drawn out the work making more money for themsevles in repeated visits to carry out the repair to say nothing about the ongoing scaffolding rental expense which grows with this delay.
Early last June 2006 after eight years of this disrepair, there was a promise to repair which needed a balcony inspection. All could be and was done from the outside apparently at that time, but the repair was not undertaken throughout the summer when there was a drought. Was this delayed to avoid questions from the Audit Commission inspectors? When this was finally commenced on the 22nd of September 2006, the rains started. We really need the rain.
After the deliberate disrepair was created by removing all 84 tiles on the balcony on or about 5th June 2006, I covered the balcony completely a week later with plastic arranged in a tent-like manner from a clothesline above and tied down to the balcony railing and weighed down with the 84 balcony tiles. I did this a week after this disrepair which was supposed to be a repair by removing six or eight tiles at the base of the water pipe at the other end. Outside access was arranged for this repair which turned into the destruction instead. Further outside repair was arranged for the repair of destruction while the balcony remained covered against the elements. The rains began then the day after I put the plastic up with the second largest rain on record for a month of some five inches which occurred during the remainder of June 1998.
Because I had put up the plastic to protect the balcony following the deliberate disrepair, I was able to determine the exact nature of the problem. It was not due to water coming from outside during a rain which seeped down at the base of the pipe. Instead, it was coming from a leak associated with the pipe itself where it went through the floor of the balcony. When it rained, there was no water coming onto the balcony, yet the seepage appeared along the base of the balcony from the pipe out to each of its sides along the floor of the balcony. The pipe iself was leaking from inside at the floor of the balcony inside the wall. I had wrtten a letter about this with a diagram and sent it out. The actual leak repair had to be addressed in the pipe itself, and the removal of the balcony tiles was done completely in error. I explained this to the inspecting surveyor who came along later in June 1998 and gave him a copy of my letter with its diagrams.
The weather in July was mostly dry and pleasant with only a few rain days. Because I was harassed by those in the flat below for putting the plastic up because some water accumulated in it which was then blown out by the wind as it dried and decreased in weight, I removed the plastic tent over the balcony in the third week of July. Had a repair been undertaken from the outside as agreed, the balcony would have been assured of being dry regardless of the weather. After I removed the plastic tent, the weather was nice. However, there was no balcony repair undertaken, and surveillance technology was installed in mid-August 1998 instead with access to it provided to the tenants, residents, friends, relatives and anyone else who came by from the flats above and below mine as well as other nearby flats. They immediatedly started to carry out a very intense harassment activity against me as part of tenant management. It goes on as of this writing.
Lt Harry Bird and the mother of the abused children so reported in May 1998, BS, who are totally obsessed with stalking and harassing me by the use of the surveillance technology are attacking this writing by yelling at various points denying their validity. Lt Harry Bird was not even present then and knows nothing about what happened. He did not arrive until February 2001. The point in so using the surveillance technology is for these two to know everything that I do in order to first try to intimidate me and keep me from doing anything then to be able to counter what I document and report when it is communicated. This is one of their methods for perpetuating their hoax and insuring that their fraud and criminal activity are not exposed. They also engage in an extensive campaign against me personnally hoping to discredit whatever I communicate without having to deal with the facts of any situaiton such as this one.
It's significant that this same pattern of activity which occurred during the summer of 1998 has just occurred again in the summer of 2006. A prompt response to repair after the early June 2006 inspection would have enabled a quick balcony repair during the drought. Now it's become a time consuming and costly project all of which could have been avoided. Imagine the disruption to my life and activity if inside access was necessary for this repair in conjunction with the 24/7 criminal harassment to which I am continuously subjected. With free and unfettered access the repair process is taking a very long time which has nothing to do with me.
The worst aspect is that all tenant management wanted to do was inspect. That was another reason to insist upon outside access for an outside building disrepair that was created by outside access. Frequent demands for inspection of the premises constitute harassment. There have been several of these recently as there were in the summer of 1998. Disrepair like this deliberately disregarded for over eight years constitutes harassment although it is not as bad as such things as heat and hot water being deliberately shut off to drive someone out of his/her home. Given all that is happening including the demands that I be removed along with the statements by the mother of the abused children that my flat is her "house" since she has been claiming possession for yeears, everything adds up to unlawful eviction by unlawful and criminal means of an extreme kind. A male stated quite clearly recently "We want to force him out."
An example of TMO Three Star created disrepair for eight years and almost five months despite unfettered outside access available throughout this entire period to carry out a proper repair. Here is the state of repair which was accomplished finally four weeks ago today yet remains like this. The TMO also celebrates ten years in existence. Corporate governance led to surveillance technology abuse in an attempt to wipe out human activity and human life in an effort to silence the reporting of problems.
The following list reflects the wake up times last night caused by those using the surveillance technology:
01:02 To bed
02:16 Wake up one.
02:58 Wake up two.
03:41 Wake up three.
04:29 Wake up four
05:06 Wake up five.
05:50 Wake up six.
06:44 Final wake up followed by continuous verbal abuse from those using the surveillance technology which kept me awake and finally drove me out of bed.
I will fill in the details for this last night's chronic sleep depriation activity from those with the surveillance technology if time permits. I am occupied 24/7 in dealing with the problems which they create as can be noted in order to best preserve my health and safety.
