In Camley Street in Camden, a stone’s throw from the high-end towers of the £2bn King’s Cross regeneration project, values have already exploded, and development pressure is threatening to squeeze industrial space out of the area. 

The neighbourhood forum has come together with local businesses to form a CLT that is proposing a dense mixed-use scheme of hundreds of homes and further employment space, with rental income fed back into the community over the long-term. It’s still in the early stages, but it could provide a template for how to build a truly mixed-use urban quarter, without a developer creaming off the value.

Lives being sacrificed for the scandalous HS2 project

Thursday, 29th October 2020

The HS2 construction site

SHOULD we be surprised that the Government is refusing to fund replacement housing for hundreds of desperate residents living in nightmarish conditions next to the HS2 construction site?, (Unprecedented council homes points plan for HS2 tenants).

The project is already massively over-budget, years late and widely considered to be a national disgrace.

The council now state that it is “impossible” for residents to live in 130 council homes for the next 10 years because of HS2 construction, due to begin in the next few months with “major piling” a few metres away from the blocks.

Much of the work goes through the night. If residents thought they had had it bad so far with HS2, it is about to get a whole lot worse.

A Faustian Pact of 130 “assurances”, agreed between the council and HS2 in the corridors of the House of Commons back in 2015, has failed miserably to safeguard residents from the project.

Councillors say they had expected even until last week that a package of £129 million would be agreed as this was “morally the right thing to do”.

A specially convened cabinet meeting last night agreed to an alternative: giving tenants a massive housing points boost to help them make a bid to escape.

There is however no coherent plan for 45 further leaseholders who, rightly, are outraged at the prospect of all their neighbours moving out.

Their properties have been classed as “virtually uninhabitable”. Will the council aim to buy back right-to-buy properties that, for the meantime at least, it deems to be “unlettable”?

Then there is the issue of precedent. What about residents at, for example, the Chalcots estate?

They too have lived with upheaval and disturbance and next to major construction work for years. Should they also be considered for an extra housing points to ensure they can move away?

The Conservative leader raises the thorny issue of how the 630 points figure will lead to Regent’s Park estate tenants “leapfrogging” others in urgent need, for example those waiting to flee abusive homes.

He said it was “unconscionable to send to the back of the queue people begging for an escape from domestic violence”.

The Conservatives are really playing with numbers here. What would they do to fund the alternative housing?

Would they support, for example, ventures such as the Community Land Trust for Camley Street, which is now being considered by council officials?

A consortium has come together and believe they can raise the capital for a great redevelopment of Camley Street. A similar scheme is being planned for Belsize Park.

This is an exceptional situation and it is going to require an exceptional response.

2026 in Camden

 the start of a new year in the london borough of camden - hasn't been good in regards to where i live.

the situation with the unsafe state of my living room has gotten worse with a deep crack appearing at the top of the wall. The ply wood was put on the other day but not as the plaster/carpenter said he wanted to: he wanted to put board across all of that side of the ceiling [he tapped the ceiling with a tool and hole appeared , it too is wet. However he didnt do it as i said he would have to move my stuff to do it, [i can't do it, i have various medical conditions i told him] so he changed his tune and said it be okay. hmm. i thought. 

this photo is at the same side of where the ceiling caved in [i couldnt get a decent landscape shot of the whole length of the width] the black mould is still where - someone was supposed to come to my flat and wash it but despite a text saying 'someone will be with you shortly' the only person who did turn up at the property [went in flat c above me] was the council employee who works in the housing repairs department, has been harassing me. day and night he is hanging around where i live and employee camden council and the police let him despite my complaints. 

so that thing sticking out of the top of the wall, just under the ceiling - i think its some sort of sporn pod, it was there the other week in a much smaller size then it disappeared, now its a lot bigger. 

monday 5 jan 2026

i don't sleep well, and usually only get 2/3 hrs sleep before waking up and much of the time i feel tired/exhausted and have breathing problems to do with anxiety and physical exertion. I have an auto-immune disorder when means that my bodies internal defence cells [to a virus etc] don't work properly and attack health cells, in my case joints, knees, wrists, it can be all over your body - and can cause a lot of pain. If aggravated say by stressful events etc it can be excruciating - i am on pen injections treatment for this. i have various other medical conditions. 

i am so sick and tired of the stressors being piled on me by people i see as abusers and dishonest. i have recently had a part diagnosis of autism but im not entirely sure of it but it may explain why i havent been able to control some of my emotions and hence behaviour to being overwhelmed by external stimulation [some noises] etc and some peoples loud aggressive voices and behaviours and put in situations that cause me intense distress. 

i also still feel traumatised by my experiences of the police and neighbour getting me arrested. neither having much if any regard to me not be very well, one who seemingly wants me to 'hurry up and fcuking die' - not an ounce of compassion between the lot of them only wanting [as i see it] to bring down their

 prey even more to go in for the kill. i don't really do angry as i imagine many others feel/do it, its more of an intense feeling within me of repulsion, and wanting to rip the thing to pieces with my bare hands - very animalistic i think, but it is part of me and i have control over it but at a cost of harming me more than it harms others.

ive lost where i was going with this and at the risk of one of my  abusers reading this to use it against me in some way, in the future, id say 'piss off and piss off some more'  ... 

or as the late/great bill haley [and the comets] once sang 

'cya later alligator..' https://youtu.be/1Hb66FH9AzI?si=OZN2KGxTnEvqIOjX ..... such greatness

5 jan 2025

michael mansano was hanging about where i live again. this time with camden council van front lightd flashing. he was in flat c again banging about. then  it was doors slamming, in and out through the next 5 or so hrs. then the thumping and banging about above my bedroom. imo he is pressured by the tenant of flat c to keep coming up to where i live - to harass/intimidate me. its never ending and neither police nor his employer camden council will help me. these people have no souls, like the walking dead imo

8 jan 2026

im feeling very tired today and have been sleeping a lot on and off through the day. i emailed housing estate officer the other day, am waiting for her reply. someone said they where going to ref me to adult social services as needing help.... ha good luck with that i though, many people don't qualify for help even if they do need it. 

12 jan 2026

next door neighbours have chopped down a bush in their garden [that borders where i li9ve] where a group of about 20 sparrows lived/hung out - i am so upset by this, another nice thing destroyed, that has hurt me.

i liked the view from my kitchen window, it was one of the small no. of  positive to the many negatives of where i live. i already miss seeing the sparrows, other birds. 

                                                this is how it is now

                                             this is how it was x2

tues 13 jan 2026

im not feeling so great today - im very tired and thinking i won't go to the pool, i hope i can snap out of this as i love the water, and need to go. 

i feel so down by whats been happening - i hope the meds kick in soon. 

still no word from the estate housing office to my email to come to my flat and look at the state of the place and what im supposed to live in and me having disabilities etc - words to that effect. 

update 

ive come in from being at the pool, im knackered and had to get some grociers and trolly and they a bit heavy and having to get them up the stairs is so difficult and then when i got in i started to retch again 

and felt even lower that before. 

im so tired of always been seen as the bad one, the trouble maker, when others who are worse in many ways get away with things.

14 jan 2026

very sharp pain in my back around heart - have had pains around front this last week 

flat c came in slams both doors and thumps about above my bedroom.

i canelled hospital appointment last week because i felt i coulnt do what they asked i do for 2/3 days before appointment. im too pre-ocuppied with all the harassment, etc etc to do with living where i do to be able to ..... its been too much for me 

18 jan 2026

my eye has been paining me - as far as around the eye socket on my cheek. 

r064 van has been parked outside where i can see it, since fri evening. its been quiet in regards to c, - like they are pretending not to be in the flat by not making any noise, other than noise i have heard - and havent been in and out. sometimes they sneak about the place as quiet as mice and you coulnt know if they where right outside your flat door - listening.

update

i hate living where i do, surrounded by people i consider toxic and evil. they have no compassion only hate and bringing down their prey... that is how i see them, and with good reason imo. how did i end up in this hole which evil liars up down left and right. i can't stand it at times, i want to screammmm, 'get me the fcuk away from here, them' 

kentish town at its worse - sir keir starmers [labour leader and pm] constituency where police, council people and residents are cold and evil  [not all of them but the dominant ones as usual, the manipulative, psycopaths, narcs who don't know how to love, or how to speak to people nicely or to comfort them - its all about destroying others to make themselves feel better. that what i think.] i feel sick litrally to my stomach just thinking about them let alone being so close by to them.  

i need to move from this cesspit

21 jan 2026

7.50am i can hear someone close flat c door - im thinking its the housing repairs harasser from camden council. i don't feel safe with him about the place but despite my complaints, he is being allowed to keep hanging about where i live by camden council and the police. yes i have to keep repeating this because what hes done and does is intimidation of a defendant in an upcoming court case and he is allowed to do it

22 jan 2026

flat c door slam then slams main front door appro 10am - done on purpose to cause annoyance etc to me 

update flat c came in with r064 who had council van parked outside where i could see it - he let me know he in the building as when he got near to my flat door he spoke a bit then went into flat c thumped about...

then snuck out a bit later. he will be back later on as usual. harassment of me imo on behalf of flat c

23 jan 2026

im not feeling so great today - im so tired and havent been able to do a few things i wanted to do - sleep is still bad and the lack of proper sleep really hits me at times. my bowels have been gearing towards  diarrah mode this last week which has happened before but usually its constipation mode. this started when i had the heart attack [16 march 2020]and found i couldnt empty my bowels until weeks later and this is how its been on and off since [with bouts of diarraha in between] 

update 

1.pm the harasser from camden council has come out of flat c and ran down the stairs to let me know he was in flat c. i feel triggered and overwelmed with dispair/distress that i find myself crying again

sat 24 jan 2026

but i didnt attend ---- as i didnt get message until now -

so whats the betting i will be arrested again for not attending. they just kick and kick when you are down

a warrent will have been asked for by cps and will have been granted by crt and they will come for me again - they will have to kick the door as its baracaded because i dont feel safe = and with good reason ... see the games they play ...im surprised they arent at door now

barrister and socilitor tell me i dony have to attend - yet the crts apparently didnt make a mistake with the lette

update 

ive had to take higher dosage of anti-dep this evening [i take 2x dosage per day] as im having a hard time with the court news and again i feel trauatised .... its like im never going to be able to mend from this as they keep piling it on.... im crying again, trying to settle down for the night, sleep sleep sleep, i want to sleep properly, and never wake up again in this existence. its shte.

25 jan 2025

you know when you can't face checking your emails, phone because of the messages associated with unpleasant events etc, the unpleasant feeling inside you get .... the piling on of such unpleasantness that you literally cannot stomach it and can feel the retch starting to form inside of you ..... body reactions to stressful events . 

26 jan 2025

i still can't face checking my emails, and im still waiting for the police to come and get me again because 

i didnt attend the pre-lim court hearing 2 lawyers told me i didnt need to, even though crt sent me a letter saying i had to attend. but due to illness i didnt. if they come for me again, not much i can do. 

i have to take pen injection med soon [for auto-immune disorder that can be very painful], its stored in the fridge then i take it out and leave it for a little while [i guess to reach room temp or something].

flat c just came in and closed door loudly - so i can hear it. the door is 3 feet opposite my flat door and their is no sound proofing in the building, she knows it causes me annoyance, upset etc but does it anyway. landlord and police won't recognise that this is harassment [especially when its done on purpose to cause you upset]. 

feeling invisible - in camden

i'm feeling invisible right now and very distressed and i am mute as well, nobody hears me [or listens even] thats how it feels, and it hurts me a lot. 

how this this happen, how did i get to the stage in my life [at 60] where i really have little or no value to many around me and getting help in a crisis isn't easy. 

the build up and built up to what happened today [26 dec 2025] in my camden council flat 

it won't stop, its like im, this flat, this property is cursed and earlier on the ceiling in my living room collapsed onto the floor of my living room - and it nearly killed my cat, the only being i have. 

ive been reporting the water leak from flat above me since around 26 nov 2025 - to the landlord, and 

someone even came to where i live from the council, somehow managed to get into the communal area and stuck a calling card under my flat door - i was out - it was about a door lock, not the water leak. the problem with the door lock had been fixed the week or so before [someone had stuck glue in the door lock and my key wouldn't go into it so i couldnt lock the door - its just luck i was inside the flat when it was glued because if id been out i wouldnt have been able to get inside. 

this was done as revenge for the accidental leak to flat below me that happened when thames water turned the water off in my street and others. i was verbally abused by relative of A, was belittled etc etc made to look as horrible as possible and even a council worker gave me a dirty look and the housing repairs bloke R064 called me a fat cow and slammed the main from door on me. 

They know im not well, they don't care - only about harming me - they accuse me of this that and the other when they do the things they claim i do - they do worse, they tell lies they collude with others, and they hate me becausde i tell it like it is, don't go along with their scams etc and say things online - they have no guts to come to me and say 'blah blah blah' all they do is attack, scream, belittle, threaten - they cannot do non aggressive arguments to put there side across , its attack attack, growllllllll. thats it. thats all they know. 

i have to take a break now - i feel the urge to have a fag [i gave after heart attack] but i still get cravings] 

they want me dead, and the police pick and choose who they do see and hear and who they will protect and who they will truamatise and torture - they have done that to me, chosen to cause me harm, to traumatise me. 

 

20/12/2025 - all still isnt well in kentish town

 

its been a very draining day for me. 

1. my landlord camden council keeps ignoring my reports of a water leak coming from flat c above me. water is dripping through my living room ceiling, but it stopped for a few days and started up again y/d within noticable drips of water from the ceiling onto my carpet. 

other area's of the ceiling have yellow watermarks, including around the ceiling lights, there is also black marks which may be mould. 

y/d someone from camden council sent me a text on my phone about an appointment - didnt say what for just lots of numbers and text blah to agree sort of thing which i did but it didnt go through. so i left it.

nexr day when i was out, coming back from therapy i get back and see that a note from landlord had be pushed ybder my flat door by un-named person about a door lock...

door lock, but that was fixed the other week [ because someone from flat A glued the lock chamber up and i couldn't get my key in it. its only by chance i was in when they did it [i didnt hear anything but they sneak about as quiet as mice when it suits them] and its not safe or secure living where i do, the internal communal area more so and everyone and anyone can gain access. 

i mentioned this to @camdencouncil twitter account who already has my details as ive sent them to the @camdencouncil twitter account before, but they wouln't pass on my details to housing repairs. then the 

wrong bloke turns up and still nothing gets sorted and camden council landord just ignores the situation.

the situation with flar c also involved the tenant harassing me and getting me arrested and the police only too willing to give me a kicking even though they know im not well. this was 6 march 2025,,,

i will fill in this area another time as i want to go forward to today [sat 20 dec 2025] and not only the water leak by a camden  council housing repairs employee who moved in to flat c with the tenant who has been harassing me etc.

he starts with the same slamming doors etc and other stuff i know was being done to harass me, on behalf of or heavily influenced by ph from flat c.

anyway various flamable stuff was also dumped in the communal front garden area, new trees cut down, long planks of wood and a large battery put under the gas meter/s. other stuff dumped that i though would have needed a van, maybe with a rack on top, to transport and dump in the front garden. 

i complained about this this fire hazaard and only the long planks attritubuted to r064 where taken away. 

as well as the license plate, R064 is the identifying 4 digit number on the camden council white transit van ro64 drives around and parks outside where i live, in the day time, every night and weekends, no parking permit needed apparently, then there the council tax single persons discount..... change of circumstances. ....

a few weeks back r064 when holding onto the open main front door where i live, and i was outside on the pavement, called me a fat cow and slammed the door shut. ph had been hanging out her kitchen window window phone in hand. ill explain more about this later. 

more recently when i came out of my flat to go to hospital appointment r064 was behind flat c door and came out and literally stood right next to me [he approached me] i felt very threatened by this and i moved on down the stairs with him right behind me. because i wasn't going as fast as he wanted [i have mobility problem] he let out this loud sign sound behind me. i didnt say anything to him as he and ph had got me arrested by 'lovely police officers who said how high, when they said jump' 

they lied to police who rushed down to where i live to get me and also lied about seeing a video of me approaching them. again i was tramatised by the police and held at stoke newington police dungeon for 16 hrs without any review or anything and even asked one of them if they where going to kill me, he said no but i really did think they would as they where getting away with the sham arrest and grounds for arrest etc.... that i was later released for and told it was a mistake.. a mistake, no way it was purpose i know that and then i had conditional bail imposed on me by police.. huh i though... 

what they had done was put r064  name on conditions not to go near sort of thing....

which i put in a court application to have scrapped because of various reasons, dishonesty etc by police being one of the reasons, how their behaviour had affected me etc etc. send to courts and cps.. 

then not long after that police contacted me saying blah blah... basically withdrawing the bail and conditions...no sorry or anything though for the  harm they caused me [again]

r064 was still hanging around where i live despite complaints made to employee camden council and the police... looked to me like he was/is being protected and this stands today and him throwing his weight around where i live with putting a stinking big sheet of plywood sort of wood in the communual area, leaving it there and when i went out it affected my breathing - its a hazarrd again, fire anf breathing wft i thought how is he repeatedly getting away with this stuff, 

when i came back he was at the council van, all smiles, laughing with some bloke who lives in former pub, van front door wide open and power tool, flat c door open and power tool noise starts on and off for hours with not only me gearing it but others and the loud thumping/banging about above my bedroom. 

like he owns the place, runs the council or something. he is still in flat c with council van outside. 

i think he uses an equality act 2010 protected characterist, wheras the likes of me, [female. disabled ] is down the bottom of the  hyarchy ladder. trans gender being no.1, race no.2. disabled ............... way down the bottom its barely noticably. 

they treat disabled people like nobodies, imo and same goes for the landlord camden council.

23 dec 2025

8.20pm lots of banging about above my bedroom again - its camden council housing repairs employee r064 again [van parked outside again where i can see it],  causing a nusiance and doing works to flat c where he has been living - i don't feel safe with him about the place, and i still have stuff against my flat door to baracade it. 

25 dec 2025 water is still leaking through my living room ceiling and the ceiling is now peeling away. 

i have been reporting the water leak since around 26 nov 2025 - 

though water is not leaking through, water marks can be seen around the ceiling light, 

im still baracaded in 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ " A man in north London was left with a collapsed ceiling after Camden Council took too long to fix a leak coming from the flat above, a Housing Ombudsman investigation has found." 

ive had a look on the housing ombudsman site here  for camden council cases, and i think the above linked case is here. 

26 dec 2025

today in the am about an hour after me contacting the landlord again to say that water is still coming 

update 

the ceiling in my living room has colapsed onto my floor - nearly killing my cat who was under it and who came runnibg out, poor little fella, i also could have been under it 

https://youtube.com/shorts/SXM0fYrDCgk?si=TQF0YjaSc71JrCs3

31 dec 2025

went to hydro therapy earlier, i enjoyed it but as i got nearer to where i live i felt depressed ,anxious about living where i do and with those from flat above me and a lesser degree flat below - as well as having camden council as landlord. 

3.10pm - sounds like r064 has gone into flat C - the heavy walking up the short communal stairs, the making noise with key to open the door, the slamming of the door.... then when upstairs the dropping down or a heavy bag above my b/r .all done on purpose imo so i can hear as further harassment of me.

r064 came back out of flat c ran down the small stairs - the van he drives is parked outside.

someone has just come back into flat c and then the drilling - works done in flat c. he won't leave me alone

i still feel the need to baracade my flat door as i dont feel safe with him about or anyone to do with flat c. 

1 jan 2026

R064 is still in flat above me [flat c] and the camden council van he drives is parked outside where i can see it. i see this as further and continued harassment/intimidation of me. this started when he copied the tenant in flat C of [on purpose] slamming of the door/s, running down the communal stairs and only talking when he was at my flat door, so that i could hear him - and the long wooden planks of wood that were dumped in the front garden [communal area] area - possibly he was also responsible for the large battery as well. 

added to that him calling me a fat cow and when i was on my way to hospital appointment and i had left my flat and locked the door [he had been standing behind flat c door, i didnt hear him come down the internal stairs, but he must have heard me come out of my flat] just as i had locked my door i hear the flac c door unlock/open and he was right behind me. 

he could and should have waited until i had gotten down the stairs but he didnt, so i took this as him on purpose intimidating me. i tried not to react and didnt say anything, as i didnt want to give him or petra hind the opportunity to get me arrested again [the police are only too eager to arrest disabled people it seems] and even lie about some things. 

i started walkling down the main longer communal stairs and he was still close behind em - because i have mobility problems i hold onto the hand rail that on the wail and i heard him make a noise [he sighed] could be i wasnt going fast enough for him and he just had to let me know how annoyed he was ...

i made a complaint about him [again] yet so far nothing has been done about him. he still keeps coming to where i live, even in the communal area and i don't feel safe with him about - with anything/oneone to do with flat C, and now i baracade my flat door [a door that isnt very secure due to the met police bashing it in to get at me be cause - i didnt receive the court summons to attend a hearing, yet one is assumned to have received it/it was served if its posted .... 

i didnt receive it so didnt attend the hearing so the police/cps request a warrant of arrest [because they couldnt even contemplate that i didnt receive the summons and the courts don't either] which they get from the magistrate and hold onto it for 3 months [hardly a priority of seriousiness in the list of 'crimes' im charged with.

" Foreword 

Every day, the police in England and Wales are required to respond to the widest possible range of human behaviour and conditions. One moment they might be seeking a place of safety for an abandoned child, or for a person suffering from mental health problems who is confused and vulnerable; the next, they could be arresting an armed criminal. In some cases, people may be both offenders and in need of care.

 Vulnerability can be a trigger for crime or it can make people more likely to be victims of crime. The task that we ask of our police officers in making the distinction between the need for care and the requirements of justice is therefore both highly complex, and crucial if we are to ensure that vulnerable adults and children in our society do not become criminalised for want of a more appropriate response. The bricks and mortar of the custody suite and the police cell do not, and cannot make this distinction. As a result, some of the most vulnerable in our society may be subject to the same physical conditions and treatment as some of the most harmful. 

Police officers are civilians in uniform, possessing and discharging powers given to them freely by the consent of the communities they serve. There can be no greater power invested in a civilian than the power to take away the liberty of the citizen; nor can there be a stronger illustration of the power and trust invested in the police. 

The way that officers and staff engage with people in their custody or care therefore, has a most significant effect on the legitimacy with which the police are viewed, both by those detained, and by wider society. 

Future co-operation as witnesses to crime, or trust in the police as a victim of crime, may also be dependent on these contacts with the service. This being the case, the attitude and actions of the police – whether on the front line or in custody – are of paramount importance in ensuring that the very different needs of all those they encounter are met by the most appropriate agency. 

For those members of the public taken into custody, there are risks of harm from the experience of detention itself. They may also pose a risk to themselves and/or to others. 

All of these risks must be managed effectively by officers and staff with the relevant specialist expertise, who must communicate effectively, implement good standards of care, follow the law and work proactively with other agencies to ensure the right protection is put in place for vulnerable detainees, both in and following police custody. The primary purpose of the police is the prevention of crime and disorder. 

Other public agencies also have responsibilities in this regard. It is important to reiterate that the care of those who are vulnerable and at risk of coming to police attention is not the responsibility of the police alone. 

As this report emphasises, each service with a role to play in helping these individuals – including health, mental health, social and housing services – must fully and properly discharge its responsibilities, so that the police do not become the default response for vulnerable people in crisis. Many agencies and individuals have assisted HMIC with this inspection. I am particularly grateful to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons for their support through our joint programme of custody inspections."

I'm Frightened - In Kentish Town

tues 4 nov 2025 10:51am 

im typing this at the time stated. 

Flat A - i am very frightened and very much fear for my life and that one of the neighbours will again do something to my flat door - set it on fire or something like with the blocking up the key hole of my flat door from the commual area side - so door couldnt be locked when i go out. - it doesnt lock like other locks so that when you close the door, the door is locked and then you have second extra lock below

mine is 1 lock with handle inside and out - that when closed isnt locked until key locks it or switch thing inside is turned. 

flat C - the council worker with the R064 who moved in with PH in flat C has been intimidating me again - he left the flat early this am and then came again and stayed and left after about 10 minutes [the intimidation] then she left very loudly 5 minutes laters. 

then recently i have heard tenant in flat A at his flat door - he has gotten in on the intimidation etc and the landlord and police let them - they know. 

i have therapy a bit later and i need to go out - i can't stay in here, its the only outside thing i have that is good for me, even though when i come back to flat i get depressed again. 

i have put a note in front windowing saying 'help me' flat B' 

i have tweeted the landlord @camdencouncil 

i havent tweeted met police because they are the ones who has been seriously traumatising me with how they have been behaving towards me. i have made a number of official complaints yet they still came after me with the 'mistake' thing they concocted'

when i die please gather up all the stuff about whats been going on and publish it. thank you. they will make out [if they havent already] that i am a total nutter who is delusional, etc etc, doesnt know what im saying, hears sees things that arent there - you get the drift. i know exactly whats going on. 

the tenants here and others sneak about the building, in and out as quiet as a mouse when they want to, other times when they want to cause harassment etc they run down stairs, slam doors etc. its not safe here with all and sundry being able to come and go as they want and do stuff to my flat door. already ive had to put my own letterbox up outside main front door because in the communal area my post is repeatedly moved about despite notes asking not to do it. 

others knock at your door and don't say who they are, nothing - so mostly i don't open the door - 

why is it so hard for people to say who they are etc? 

update sat 13 dec 2025

im feeling very anxious and frightened again - about going outside my flat door to do some groceries and other stuff such as go to hospital appointments etc. this is due to the camden council employee michael mansano who has moved in to flat c above me [who flat door is directly opposite mine] with petra hind and both have been harassing/intimidating me. 

the latest being when on thurs gone, in the afternoon i came out of my flat and went to lock my door as as i did this i heard someone at flat c door [inside] and i thought they would hang back for a few minutes so i can get down the stairs sort of thing [as i would do as i don't want to run into either of them] but r064 didnt do that he open flat c door and came out and stood right behind me, i couldn't didnt say anything becaudse i knew if i did he and she would try and get me arrested again and thats been a horrible experience for me [x3] so i said nothing and as i was going down the main stairs - not as fast as he wanted i guess, as he made a deep sigh noise literally into my ear behind me. 

i took this as him deliberately intimidating and harassing me and i was very out of sorts as i went to get bus for hospital appoint. 

i hated having to come back to where i live know how frequency he hangs about the place and despite reports made to his employee camden council and the met police about him, they let him carry on.

he is in flat c as i type and i need to go out again and im having to try and calm myself 

i am also worried that when i come back something else might be down to my flat door lock as was done the other week. 

15 dec 2025

the camden council housing repairs employee has the councils white transit van R064 parked outside where i live again - means hes in flat c above me. 

despite complaints about him to his employee and the police, nothing is done by them to keep him away from me, from where i live. 

17 dec 2025

the R064 camden council white transit van is parked outside where i live again which means michael mansanta camden council employee is in flat c above me. he can get away with intimidating me, calling me names, other stuff - by his employer and the met police who imo go for the easier targets like me than do any actual police work to catch proper criminals [in the council perhaps and some tenants]

24 Oct 2025

 Friday 25 Oct 2025

I was coming back from doing some grocery shopping and had just gotten off the bus and started to walk through the small housing estate nearby to where my flat is  and as usual i turned my phone camera on in case something happened i needed to have on record - and i notice white van very near to where i live and as i got closer i notice that its ro64 so continuing recording and he moved the van - [he was literally in the same place with van the week before going into flat c, when i was coming through the flats from shopping - a co-incidence? hmm or something else. ]and got out just as i was trying to get into the house where i live and he said something and came closer to me [approached me, i didnt approach him] and started filming me. next ph comes out and she shouting wrongly claiming im approaching her - when i wasn't [all the while im still filming] flat c still shouting ..approaching me, and im saying im not you are approaching me, even ro64 tried to get her to move back from me. 

shes giving it the mouth, so the neighbours can hear and as usual 'she who shouts loud enough for others to hear' is so telling the truth? nope as usually shes sprouting off bs to make me look bad etc etc. 

she threatened to call police again. i phoned them and was told they wouldnt be coming down but a cad number was sent.

not long after 2 male met police turns up at my door and im being arrested again - for breaching a anti harassment order from the courts - to not approach a r064, anyone attached to flat c and that his name was XX - that name sounds familiar i thought. i tell the coppers no its not called what you said, it doesn't say what you said, it doesnt even mention that name. copper says he had just seen a recording of me appraoching her. 

no i didnt i says she approached me and i said i filmed it and tried to show them the footage but they didnt want to know. they where there to arrest me and cart me off it seems and nothing i could say etc was going to change that] turns out they had to hang around in my flat for longer that usual as their wasn't a police van available as yet.... anyway

after hours of being traumatised again, my anxiety level going sky high, thinking they where going to kill me etc etc etc and a number of lies from various custody police, one of them that they had to keep me in police custody until i was brought to court sat morning - so from about 5 or so pm friday eve i had to against my will again, stay in police custody. the custody sargeant/s [2 of them i was told when asked] the female was lovely [considering the situation] and was doing the 'booking me in' on the computer whilst the 2 'foot soldier's who brought me in stood either side of me at the counter, one moving about very impatiently. anyway they eventally went and blah blah ..... the usual ....... and hrs later me asking to speak to whoever is in charge at the station as i wanted to try and make sense of why i was there .... evently i was allowed out to go speak to male custody sarg who was sitting behind the counter at computer. 

and im thinking his hair is quite striking. next thing someone came to cell whilst im in it opened the hatch thing produces a handheld dictation machine and says 'im arresting you, blah blah 2009 ... blah blah. huh i thought what the fuck is going on. it was the custody sargent who had let his hair down [literally] 

seems that the arresting copper [or someone else] lifted the name from 2009 and applied it to ro64... 

earlier when speaking at the custody desk with male sarg hes saying its all on the computer - that he was looking at but i didnt see.how can it be.... they are stitching me up and so blatantly. 

turns out after that shift had finished and the new shift came on, i was released without charge but on bail [on bail? wft this needs sortin out] 

it was a mistake. a mistake?   though i don't know his name etc i think he was sargent, he apoliged for what had happened and couldnt have been nice enough .... mental health person and appropriate adult person was there and we chatted a while - they couldnt have been nicer either. 

looked like what had happened was [i will find out for sure later] that flat c or ro64 or both had phoned up

the police, and 2 males where dispatched to go get me. i think someone else was contacted as well but i don't know for sure yet. 

what they had done was take something that was on the police data base from years ago and attached it to flat c and ro64 including a restraining order. 

a 'mistake' they claim. and im wondering who came up with that one?

so thats false arrest, false detention and again traumating me, etc etc. well done.

------------------------

what i know from having [non-aggrivatve] arguments with a few police officers is that they do not know the law as well as they may think they do. i know a little, and i knew enough to know that they are not immune from being prosecuted/sued for their bad actions, as one officer claimed to be .... not true i says, and he back tracked on that one.  

i think in most cases they know they are acting illegally etc [exceeding their lawful/legal] authority but they do it anyway - maybe thinking they will get away with it or maybe they really don't care if they do get pulled up and lose their job, sent to prison etc or are delusional.

they have way too much legal authority to arrest, detain etc etc people than many coppers can professional handle, they mis-use/ abuse these powers and to the detriment of others, many who imo do not deserve to be treated the way they have been by the police. 

There is also the processes that say from arrest, they 'have to' follow which could be changed, they are not written in stone, they are not the ten commands sort of thing. its the same with the courts and some of the actual laws, common or legislation some that do not imo make sense, and are unfair. and bad law making or implementation has victims and victors and some really do not deserve it. imo. i very much believe in deserving and underserving. 

end note

another procedural issue to do with the courts is that of the serving of court summons or requisitions and how in the case of ones that are send out by post, which as far as i am aware are deemed to have been served if a few steps are taken] even if the person who the summons was sent to, doesnt receive the document. 

and no checks or anything are necessary for when if an arrest warrant is issued, for the police or whoever to actual check before arresting someone.... and when they do to actually follow what the order says and not make up the law [ to suit themselves or others] and exceed their powers [again]. this is something i have experienced. 

so many procedural things i think need tiding up within how the police operate to do with processes 

they 'have to go through' and some when 'mistakes' happen right from the start, they can be sorted and do not need to go through the whole distressing etc thing of detention etc etc until court hearing. 

this is done at unnecessarily at times to frustrate/distress and punish the person. 

lastly, the police and implementing Reasonable Adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 [s20 duty to make adjustments here ] and other Human Rights are not taken seriously - i have had to keep repeating myself  and say 'where are my human rights' where are the 'reaonable adjustments' i am legally entitled to as a disabled, vulnerable person - where are they, i want them, [does that sound demanding? considering the situation and unjust processes etc and being traumatised and feeling like im being tortured, i think me 'demanding' my rights occasional and i don't usually make demands' is justified. 

27 Oct 2025

I said to xx I could see how the fraud/set-up against me by xx was being played and was asked to explain what i mean't [words to that effect] i hope i was able to explain clearly and make sense. i think they are easy to see, but not so easy to get enough evidence to get someone the sack or investigated and charged/prosecuted for, so in some ways they are clever - in the processes used but i think they rely on other people who may not be part of the gang but have been pulled into the fraud - and who know if they don't keep their months shut they will be intimidated or even stitched up themselves. 

even the police appear to be in on it. All sorts of bad practices are shown, from not following procedures where the decision to to have arrested and detained you is supposed to be reviewed  after 6 hrs and so on and so on. the 

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) – Code C here 

" 1.0 The powers and procedures in this Code must be used fairly, responsibly, with respect for the people to whom they apply and without unlawful discrimination. Under the Equality Act 2010, section 149 (Public sector Equality Duty), police forces must, in carrying out their functions, have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct which is prohibited by that Act" 

They don't have in place any Reasonable Adjustments that protect disabled vulnerable people who may be arrested/detained for even minor/summary stuff - from being harmed, traumatised, etc etc when they are forced to go through the usual processes. 

Laws that are there to protect some people from abuse/harm by local authorities [such as s15 of the Equality Act 2010 here ] and  s20 adjustments for disabled people here  need to be brought to the attention of the courts because they are in my view, abuses of processes - not complying with the law they are supposed to be complying with. 

They cast serious doubt on the integrity of the Met Police - to carry out their duties in a fair/just way and without fear or favour etc etc. 

They also make up their own law - and they don't have the authority to do that, and it is often at the detriment to a person/s who is vulnerable, etc. Some even end out in hospital after contact with the police, some end up dead - all down to bad/criminal practices. they have way too much power and don't know how to use it in a responsible professional way. 

They use their powers of arrest in a very disproportionate way - and this isnt always necessary 

High Court decision restates the law on necessity for an arrest to be lawful here 

additions

threats to destroy or damage property    - this crime the police didnt even arrest ph for 

Perverting the Course of Justice        - this one is  blatant lying that police didnt correct which adds serious doubt to much of what she says

Working for Camden Council

 work in progress

https://www.camdenjobs.co.uk/working-at-camden

I have used FOR in the title instead of AT as to me they denote different things 

"To deliver the best services to our residents, we need the best people working for us to make a difference to our communities.

Camden is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults, children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment." 

This is what ive had to put up with for many years with tenant petra hind from flat c - she now has a bloke who works for camden council living with her who drives around in a white van with camden council on it and he slams and bangs the doors like she does. 

This is done on purpose i believe, to harass me as they/she knows the loud bangs/shutting of the doors upsets me, causes me alarm at times and is an attack on my senses. its bad enough when its done without thinking, but when its done deliberately to cause upset/harm to someone thats another matter - this is behaviour neither landlord or police take seriously. 

https://youtube.com/shorts/L4kMDmOvWns?si=IXcUJ9lYoSoSlkF8 

me at accident and emergency at the royal free hospital - this is what petra hind and camden met police did [for camden council i believe] 

https://youtube.com/shorts/OgSCslRyRR0?si=pHNoKqGj7cM7SLF8

this seems to be acceptable practice in camden.

This is because camden council landlord don't accept responsibility for abuses/malpractice/etc they have committed against some tenants, against me. 

They allow situations to build up and up until something happens that may result in a tenant getting arrested - like in my case. 

2017 - was when the then tenant moira hogan, lived in the flat below me, began her scam/sham to do with water from my bathroom leaking down into her kitchen. 

it was a scam, i never saw any evidence of any leaks coming through her ceiling [other than 1 time when it actually was a water leak, and i knew what had caused it and it was fixed] the rest was made-up and the councils plumber went a long with it - why he did i don't know but he did and so the rest of them did even if they had doubts, even if they didn't see any evidence of a leak. 

this resulted in the council repeatedly trying to get into my flat. and it caused me a lot of stress/upset. they wouldn't believe what i was saying about it being fake [they knew i know they did] it was easier for them to go along with what moira hogan and plumber [whose name i don't know] where saying etc than to investigate it properly. 

2019

2020 - then housing estate officer has the communual lights changed from easy to use switches to the push lights that you have to push/thump to turn the lights on but which kept switching off halfway down the stairs sort of thing, and where dangerous, especially to me as i have mobility problems and take longer than the tenant in flat C getting up and down the stairs. this lighting change was done behind my back [i wasn't consulted, or anything] but flat A and C knew about it. 

as well as the communal lights, a so-called electrician from the council wired up a door bell for flat C [from outside to into flat] that ran along the wall, up the main stairs wall - that was in the way of the top of the hand rail that i have to grab hold of to get down the stairs. then later on he put the white casing around the wire, that not only is ugly looking but which restricted me from getting down the stairs [by holding ont the hand rail] 

by this time i was so fed up, so stressed out by all this i took the casing off the wall. 

later on in 2020 during the lock-down period the landlord decided to come to where i live [6 of them] to get into my flat because of 'water pouring down' into flat A - oh yeah lets have a look then i says but moira hogan wouldn't let me so they continued to go along with it and at first called the fire bridgade out who i didnt let in. they went away.

then they called the police out. who didn't get in and they went away. 

and off the 6 mauraders went without so much as a sorry to me or anything. 

this upset me very much, and was just another case of the council and tenants causing me stress/harassment without any thought or regard to my wel-being despite them knowing i haven't been well for a number of years. 

in march 2020 just before the lock-down i had a heart attack and ended up in hospital for 5 days/nights after having various procedures done on me to unblock the artery on the outside of my heart [then a stent put in] and later on various meds im still on. 

i informed the 2 tenants of the heart attack, i contacted the housing estate officer - i part blamed them/2tenants for me having the heart attack due to all the stress they piled upon me. 

not one gave a 4x about how this had affected me. and they still don't. 

2022 -  [flat A] camden council housing estate officer for kentish takes court action against me to gain access to my flat - to 'fix' pretend water leak.  

{flat C] the then community safety officer for kentish town [ ex-police] was dispatched to come to my flat and  give me court papers [at the time petra hind had used another tactic to get me evicted/harass me by using the housing office/community safety people to come for me - it was a 2 pronged attack [the moira hogan issue and the petra hind issue] the nhofficer for kentish town being the visible [ i say visible because she may have had a senior council officer instructing her, but i really don't know] council housing officer behind the actions. 

[nb i may have some of the dates mixed up - a lot has happened over the years and they like to confuse and muddle things - i will correct any days i may have gooten wrong] 

[flat A] in three 30minutes sessions with 3 different judges at the county court in gee street, and my submitted evidence of what had been going on and camden council admitting via the barrister they 'may have exagerated' [she was lovely to me and i apperaicated it] 

i didnt stand a chance really as at first the judge put the frighteners on me with talk of prison etc - 

and then the 3rd and last meeting i missed half of it due to delays on roads[the bus] getting me to the courts and by then the judge had granted camden council an injunction giving them access. 

the way that both attacks on by A and C where 'executed' seems like they were old hands at such things [could have had help/advise sort of thing] from others i wasnt aware of] both had worked at camden council, still had connections that i didn't have. 

at the same time tenant in flat C had tried to make me have another heart attack or a breakdown by calling on various people to come to where i live to cause me harm. i had already had a mini breakdown at end of 2017/6 to which i was still recovering for and which i had to wait over 2 years for talking therapy and was still having taking therapy when lock down started [online zoom meetings]. 

they just piled on the stresses and i do believe that at the very least tenant in flat C wanted me dead - she had shouted so at me a week after i came out of hospital. i have the recording. 

because at the time and still, i have anxiety, etc and they won't recognise me as actually having disabilities

being vulnerable [they being the housing tenancy/repairs part of housing] and they abuse me and generally treat me like im a nobody.  they expect me to behave like nothing has happened, that they havent aggraivated me, inflammed conditions i have and associated behaviours  but because i have behaved at times in a way they don't like, im the one who gets arrested  and held against my will for 24hrs - which inflammed aggrivated conditions even worse than before. 

i will not forget or forget this, or let them forget it.

25 Dec 2025

going on my experience - of a few scams/shams that tenants where i live have been involved with [aided by some housing officers] its probably a lot more common than people may think. 

The first time I knew/saw that I was experiencing a scam[corruption, fraud involving council tenant and council worker/employee was to do with former tenant in flat A below me - this was to do with the fake water leaks she kept reporting started in the last months of 2017. Ive done a post or 2 about it so won't go int much detail here 

And it is set against a background of [other stuff going on around housing, living here etc] 

and involved 2 tenants where i live working together at times to make up stories about me, my behaviour etc etc and running to whoever happened to be the 'front line' housing estate officer at the time. there may have been some truth in the stories but not all, they add lies to beef it up and make me look at bad as possible. this is a tactic ive noticed some others using.
