It has come to our attention that Labour is soon about to likely select Claire Simmons for Notting Dale ward in North Kensington.
We are residents of this ward and are very concerned about the behaviour of Ms Simmons & the possibility that she could soon be councillor here in this ward home to Grenfell Tower & representing some of the council's most vulnerable residents.
It has not gone unnoticed that Ms Simmons has been behind spreading vicious false rumours about residents & Grenfell survivors.
An example of this was of her spreading the complete lie that a Grenfell survivor was having an affair with RBKC Grenfell Director Robyn Fairman.
This caused real upset & distress to the survivor & his family & friends.
Members of this community, both individuals & groups have been the subject of nasty lies from Ms Simmons, including some resident associations and Grenfell United.
This has caused tensions & infighting locally.
We are surprised that Labour would even consider such a divisive & insensitive candidate.
How is this supposed to be helpful to a community which is suffering?
Residents also question Ms Simmons' lack of experience & knowledge of social housing as most of the ward is social housing as well as what level of professionalism she would bring as this sort of behaviour certainly isn't very professional & neither is the recent behaviour towards Cllr Healy that your blog has reported.
The Labour Party ought to reconsider & instead select candidates who will help & unite people in this ward & not cause distress & division.
Notting Dale residents
She sounds sociopathic
ReplyDeleteWhat a loon.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly disturbing news. The residents of Notting Dale would be extremely vulnerable to Claire’s Psychopathic behaviour. Simmons behaviour has been self interested, antisocial and she displays a clear disregard for the law. Heaven help us, desperately hoping that this is not true.
ReplyDeleteThere is a simple solution. Elect one of the other candidates. We have a democracy and we have freedom of choice
ReplyDeleteWe residents of Notting Dale object to the vicious nature of this post. It is a complete lie and an attempt to defame someone who has been a rock to many vulnerable people in this community. We all know who spread the rumours. They are misusing this blog that we respect. They failed in their campaign to bully Ms Simmons. What they did to her was horrible
ReplyDeleteSo Simmons did not bully an 80yr old cllr?
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting that all of a sudden rumours are being spread. Social bullying is not acceptable. Unless facts are established, we would advise a word of caution before spreading rumours about bullying. Everybody in this community know who were behind the spreading of rumours referred in this article and it was definitely not Ms Simmons. It is commendable that Ms Simmons decided to put herself forward. This should be admired given the toxicity and malfeasance of a limited few who Thank God have no bearing on the majority of residents of Notting Dale.
DeleteLet's see what the Court says.
