We receive a Final Warning from our Housing Association landlord. The Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has until 3 December to provide the Central London County Court with their reply to Declan's claim

Our Church and State website has no less than 57 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).


Our communal area is spotless, and has been for the duration of our tenancy. Every Thursday night I mop it clean.

Dear Ms Khatun,

I acknowledge receipt of the attached Final Warning Letter addressed to my wife and me, which we received in this morning's post. We had never received any such letter previously. 

Please note that we have never left a personal item in the hall save a quality door mat for wiping our feet. (Door mats are a common feature in all three of these Peabody buildings.) Our communal area is spotless, and has been for the duration of our tenancy. Every Thursday night my wife mops it clean, including the stairwell. 

Please find attached a photo of our communal area as it has looked since the removal by Peabody of a potted plant of yours two years ago.

Are you asking me to remove our door mat? 

Yours sincerely,

Declan Heavey
Managing Director

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan


31 October: St Mungo's: Declan files his pleadings today. He is forced to take action against this Mayor of London-commissioned charity to even get our caseworkers to vouch over the phone that we are clients of theirs

Paragraph 11 for the court concludes:

"The Defendant's conduct, culminating in an absence of the most basic support (meaning the willingness of the Claimant's TST caseworker to vouch over the phone that the Claimant is a client of his), is unreasonable and comes on foot of a string of violations of the legal rights and interests of the Claimant that have had a continual destabilising effect upon his tenancy since the beginning of May 2018. After almost four months of dialogue on the issue of the Defendant's failure to provide satisfactory support, the Defendant's additional almost four weeks of silence since Mr. Williamson's phone message on Friday, 4 October 2019 has made the Claimant's situation unsustainable and unsafe. The Claimant is, therefore, making an application to the Court for a declaration that the Defendant has acted unreasonably and in breach of duty towards him. Alternatively, the Claimant asks that leave to appeal be granted."
