BBC News - Social housing budget 'to be cut in half' Can't come too soon to stop the social-housing-for-life ghetto brutality.
I've lived in the [Estate] since 13th May 1996 and have been subjected to intense surveillance abuse from mid-August 1998 by those in an adjacent flat I reported for child abuse. They are still doing this 12 years and two months later in an effort to drive me out of my home or have me removed so that the mother of the abused children can take over my home.
I've been on benefits the entire 14 years and five months and unable to get out of this situation because of the extreme abuse which perpetuates the need for benefits. Without any privacy and confidentiality I cannot do anything that is not abused. Those using the surveillance technology are not on benefits, and the mother of the abused children is the daughter of the former tenant in the adjacent flat where the child abuse took place.
They have institutionalised child and adult abuse with tenant management in charge in this environment and have been allowed to carry on with the criminalisation of surveillance technology unstopped creating antisocial and criminal behaviour as the standard in this environment. As a result, tenant management has been destroyed but allowed to persist to cover up its crimes and protect all those involved. The surveillance technology was instrumental in obtaining tenant management for the future.
Generally speaking social housing is a disaster with those remaining in charge through tenant management now fighting the Kensington & Chelsea Council through the local Labour Councillors of this ward to make certain that a long overdue and sorely needed secondary school for some 1200 students in North Kensington does not encroach on their "lifetime" homes.
Complete reform of social housing is needed to end the ghetto enclaves into which they have developed. The neediest require a housing safety net, but those who are entrenched cannot be allowed to abuse and seek to stall development for their own "lifetime" taxpayer subsidised social housing. These people are affluent.
Drastic changes are required, and the sooner they arrive the sooner the neediest can be served while the affluent who wield surveillance technology and clout through elected officials can be stopped. They do not manage the Estate in the overall interest of everyone but for their own benefit.
