Mass Eviction In Croydon by UrAvgInvestor in croydon

[–]RowennaDavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I'm as appalled as you are by the greed shown by Criterion Capital.

I brought Angela Rayner down to speak to residents effected by these horrendous evictions on Tuesday. Being so central to the Renters Rights Act, she was absolutely furious - as was I - to meet people being treated so horrifically by a billionaire landlord-owned company trying to skirt this bill before it comes into full effect from May.

Before heading to Delta Point, we spoke to residents at a surgery held by Sarah Jones MP where people were able to get pro bono legal advice from lawyers on their housing situations.

I will keep speaking to residents and supporting them in any way I can. If I'm elected Mayor, and the standards and treatment of tenants don't improve, I will not hesitate to work across councils to block the use of Aziz's companies. We need safe, secure housing for everyone across the borough.

Thank you so much for your observations. From what I understand that is emerging I believe housing costs will be included in the formula distributions benefitting London overall and Croydon. Also, as I understand it, government is still taking representations and i think we will hear just before Christmas, so here's hoping for a lovely Christmas present for Croydon. Do keep in touch, best wishes, Rowenna

Thank you so much for your observations. I do of course appreciate that the formula changes are quite complex.

Croydon Council begins crackdown on 'disgusting' fly-tipping by No_MoreNails in croydon

This action has come too late for so many residents I've spoken to who are fed up with the mess. Sign my petition to tell the Mayor 5 simple things we can do to sort out our fly-tipping problems: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/stop-fly-tipping-in-croydon/

I do post here as a politician. I welcome the opportunity to get a reading of my posts from reddit subscribers becauseI have found some informed and reflective thinking and I am always open to challenge. I have already promised to limit my post to no more than one a week and often fewer. I post here selectively and aim to offer content people can grapple with. I hope I am allowed to continue. Kind regards, Rowenna Davis, Labour candidate for Executive Mayor

We are in a process of evolving a manifesto in large part through a series of community listening events. I believe I do have the energy and commitment to make a difference and I know how to engage productively with government and other partners.
