It came to my attention the Council has discontinued supporting the subsidised handyman small repairs services, called 'Staying Put'. Repairs outside of the TMO's responsibility or too small to ask a professional tradesman to attend, at a certain price.
Many elderly people, on benefits or not, availed themselves of these services, to replace washers, fix curtains, repair a chair and such like.
Paying a fixed hourly rate of £12, plus the cost of materials, I and many others were very happy with this service.
Now, we have no choice, but engage a 'professional' tradesman, at a minimum hourly rate.
Yet, RBKC keeps sponsoring vanity projects, the musically awful Holland Park Opera, Noor Festival and other such ego satisfying events.
Another little meddling by our ghastly Stella, who must have been complicit with the withdrawal, as it may be considered as an auxiliary to adult social care.
With disgrace
Sad Badger,
near Holland Park 'Belvedere'
Who is Stella?

ReplyDeleteAh. A regular on Hornet. She marches to a strange drum. And has no empathy for the needy and their problems. Does not think before she wields her pen. An awful public servant.
DeleteBelieve it or not! Stella Bailie is a REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER! The founder of the Social Worker movement would be turning in her grave on learning that such an impostor has infiltrated the ranks of Social Workers..... As you say, her actions smack of amorality. I understand that the Westminster Council building, as well as the staff within, sighed with relief and utterings of 'good riddance' were heard when she 'left the building' to move to RBKC.... Much despised there as she is here.
DeleteAmazing how HR Departments fail to take up references. One would have thought that Hornton Street HR could have checked with Westminster HR to find out if Stella Baillie is turkey.
DeleteIf yous top flapping your wings Wasp, and THINK for a moment, you would figure out that Westminster would give the turkey a GLOWING reference
DeleteI understand that Ms Baillie was brought IN by RBKC to 'whip the place into shape'...They were well aware of her tyrranical reputation. No references required.
DeleteThe Council has also abandoned Garden Waste collection to save costs. But the Noor Festival budget is safe!
ReplyDeleteStella's daughter works in the RBKC Cabinet Office, so Stella is very well protected.
ReplyDeleteNEPOTISM, CRONYISM AND INCEST gone mad...
DeleteA very good article dame, but come on there is much more going on at Hornton street, a lot of disgruntled staff have left in the last six months reach out.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.... 'rats leaving the sinking ship?', comes to mind.. McDonald, Savva, Vickers happened on Baillie's watch. How many other service users are suffering, some in silence, due to her indifference to their needs... Where the CEO's wishes take precedence.
DeleteThis tri borough deal will be the undoing of so many Conservatives, the stupidity is breathtaking.
DeleteResidents in different boroughs are now contacting corresponding departments just to get something done whether refuse, social services or planning depts.
Why has the locals minister not stepped in?
Stella Baillie needs to take a hike.
ReplyDeleteThat's where I was wrapped in helpless anxiety as I sat in the darkened church, feeling empty Yeezy Boost 350 and alone. My husband sat beside me, holding my hand, Coach Outlet Store but that didn't seem to help. Nor did it change the Coach Outlet fact that our baby was six miles away lying in an Ray Ban Glasses incubator, fighting for her life.
ReplyDeleteSaid, we think the government is right not to be too ambitious about the speed of the rebound. It good news for President Xi Jinping, who had been under pressure for New Jordan Shoes 2020 China fumbled early response to the outbreak, including the detention of whistleblower doctors. But since then, has built on the failures of Western democracies and the relative success in containing the virus in China, says Prof.
Given that such evolution is less likely to apply to alien species recently Yeezy Discount introduced to islands by humans, tests of Baker's law on islands need to consider both native and naturalized alien species. Period: taxa studied: test whether the colonization of islands is associated with selfing ability (selfcompatibility and autofertility), we combined three comprehensive global databases: one on breeding systems of species, one on island and mainland distributions of Coach Handbags Clearance native Ray Ban Outlet species and one on global naturalization of alien plants. To assess potential relationships between island occurrence and selfing ability of species, we used multinomial logistic regressions.
