Sue Foster, the new planning boss, clearly has contempt for residents-or at least for those in Lambeth/Hackney.
She might find that pushing residents of RBKC around is a different ball game.
Her bullying style has so infuriated residents that the Dame senses difficult days ahead..
The residents she is trying to kick around are a very different kettle of fish!
The Dame has plucked out this comment by someone who knows all about Sue's little tricks.
Sue? We are watching you!
The residents around Allen St have the measure of you and your games......

"About Sue Foster while at Lambeth....new borough same old tricks
Sue Foster’s Hackney Mafia forcing the eviction of Lambeth residents
Sue Foster, ‘place shaper’ extraordinaire, steamed through Hackney pushing out the locals and making space for the developers.
At the moment she’s in Lambeth and it’s a re-run of her Hackney gentrification process.
She’s recently brought in Simon Matthews, ex-Hackney councillor and dodgy hatchet man.
Try and negotiate to buy your home and you have to deal with Foster & Matthews concocting inflated prices out of thin air: the borough valuers don’t get a look in.
The situation is mind-bogglingly filthy.
Lambeth’s councillors are generally too gutless to stand up against this onslaught, and if they do try and make a stand then they get deselected… witness Helen O’Malley’s disgusting treatment at the hands of the Clapham Town Labour Party.
They seem to want to keep Lambeth residents in check; ghettoise the low waged, free up street properties for developers, landlords and speculators....and they want everyone to toe some invisible line.
Lib Peck, pull yourself together.
What is Sue Foster’s agenda?
What was she asked to do? Who asked her to do it?
What line does Clapham Town Labour Party, toe?
Bottom line… where is the money going?
Say goodbye to democracy, or protest against the betrayal of ordinary Lambeth residents by a Lambeth council that’s slavishly enthralled to some ‘behind-the-scenes’ corporate interests."
Great to see the Dame is read well beyond K&C
ReplyDeleteSo, our quite unqualified leader claims her new council listens yet appoints a planner who clearly doesn't.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see what the councillors do. There is already talk that if they don’t stop bimbo they will get a lot of residents to become active and won’t be councillors next time around. Luckily we have residents who have access to political parties and Government institutions and due to COVID a lot of time available.
DeleteWe need to know how a person like Sue Foster ends up in the Royal Borough in charge of planning. The buck stops with Leader Cllr Birdbrain Campbell (whose credit cards were locked up by her husband in order to preserve family finance) but some rodent must have put the name forward and massaged it through the selection process. Could it be Quirk that should be put under the microscope? Dizzy's henchman is a person of interest, as my local PC would say
ReplyDeleteSo if she was on 180k in Lambeth what is she getting from our clowns in Hornton street? Thanks heavens she is interim.
