Action against Ealing Council December 7th

i am attempting to get justice against Ealing Council who for 6 years have been ignoring my on topic emails and calls relating to housing issues , the argument that Ealing give is that there is no law that obliges them to respond, how can a council obtain money from local ratepayers without an obligation to reply . do you agree with Ealing council , please note that I am not attempting to locate a missing cat , my emails are about vital housing issues and negligance by the council that have harmed me personally . This matter has been escalated via the official complaints procedures and I had previously been given esacalation reference numbers none of which resulted in any action , My local councillor Anthony Young who is well past retirement age and has out of date details on his landing page also refused to respond fact is that with the exception of bin emptying, street cleaning and parks which at least down my way are well done . i also note a point made by the excellent Andrew Farmer that the promises of new council leader Peter Mason are just empty rhetoric and hot air . there is no point in pretending to make a fresh start after the atrocious Julian Bell and then simply duplicate his policies . anyway if any of you who have experience with Ealing Council would like to asisst me my contact number is 07396534522 and please can you state publicly if you agree that Ealing Council can legally be allowed to ignore the legitimate correspondence of local residents and ratepayers

I don’t know which is worse, what you suffered – no response at all –  or what we suffered in the responses we received.    LIES.  The new Leader of the Council is refusing to investigate the officers against whom we have made serious allegations – Ms Reynolds” and Ms Harris, Director of Legal and Democratic Services at Ealing Council!Hopefully, the court will understand the specious nature of the cynical “get out” that the Council is using to avoid a public hearing of your case – as set out in my earlier post  - and the case will progress to a full hearing, in which case I would be more than happy to be called as witness to outline for the court the FORMULA FOR CORRUPTION that the Council is presently employing to avoid an examination of the conduct of some of its most senior officers.

Thank you Andrew and Rosco for your valuable comments, surely there must be other people in Ealing who are angry about the lack of service of Ealing Council , a policy that has become even worse since the start of this alleged 'pandemic'

It seems it can.  It is contrary, of course, to its obligation of Accountability, one of the requirements of the Seven Principles in Public Life.  But they are not legal requirements; they are ethical ones and when did EC ever operate in the light of morality?   It seems it can -  BUT NOT IN THIS CASE.  From Mr Taylor’s brief account of his case, it appears it has to do with the failure of the Complaints Service to deal with him properly.  In the protocol of the complaints procedure, the Council has imposed an obligation of response upon itself, a detailed one, so this blanket justification for non-response cannot be used in a case involving the complaints service.  A specific, self-imposed obligation of response trumps a non-existent law compelling it to respond. The use of the absence of a law compelling it to respond is probably a quick-fix “get-out” on the part of the Council to prevent the detail of the litigant’s treatment at the hands of the Council being heard in public.
