CLLR CONDON- SIMMONDS: WHY DO YOU NOT CARE FOR THE INTERESTS OF THOSE YOU REPRESENT?

WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON?
THE PUB OR THE PEOPLE WHO
ELECTED YOU?

AN OPEN LETTER TO AN ABSENT COUNCILLOR

Cllr Condon-Simmonds......



Your earnest wish was that our community be destroyed. 
You continuously express your regret it never happened. 
You know, had it happened, we would have lost our homes, our jobs, and our community.

Now, you openly express your strong support for the proposed planning application by The Riley Arms Public House, 433 Kings Road, London SW10 0LR

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS ?

The Riley Arms Public House, situated on the western end of the Kings Road, has submitted a planning application to have a rear patio built for the use of it's noisy, often drunken, and frequently badly behaved customers.
This pub extension will be next to the homes of elderly and disabled residents and many young children's bedrooms will overlook it 
Children will be forced to have their bedroom curtains closed during the day in order to avoid witnessing drug taking and drug dealing outside their homes. 
It is a 'known' that groups of patrons congregate smoking drugs on residents' entrances at the back of the pub during daylight hours on a daily basis. 
Children are forced to walk through these groups as they come home from school. 
A terrible example and frightening for residents.

The building of a patio at the back and an extra exit will further blight our children's lives. 

Children will witness and normalise drug taking, the fencing of stolen goods as men with ruck sacks weave their way in and out of the pub through the back door, drinking, smoking and violent behaviour. 
Their development will be further adversely affected by the building of a patio, an extra door and the installation of concertina doors at the front.

Concertina doors are proposed at the front. on the Kings Road . This will open the front of the pub seven days a week from 10 am to 11 pm . Mothers with young children at present desperately try to avoid the leery comments and the frequent sexual references as they force their way through crowds of drunks on the way to the supermarket on a daily basis. Having larger crowds will further compound the feeling of entrapment as they suffer this onslaught of antisocial and criminal behaviour at the front and at the back of the pub. They have no choice but to face this on a daily basis as they walk to the supermarket, shops and bus stop.

Other commercial premises are too frightened to complain or object as they clean up the vomit and urine every morning from their doorstep. The last time one did a microwave was thrown through their window.

The police attend the pub regularly in response to violence between drunk patrons. 

Many of us as young children have grown up with instructions from mothers " Don't go past the pub at the front or at the back. Cross over to the other side of the kings Road to the supermarket "  

Now we give our children the same instructions.

Many of us have worked very hard to improve the lives of the most vulnerable and in particular the children in our community as they are our future.

CLLR CONDON-SIMMONDS....WE ARE APPALLED THAT NOT ONLY HAVE YOU TURNED A BLIND EYE, BUT ARE SUPPORTING THE EXPANSION OF A ROGUE PUB....WHY?
