Elucubrations clownesque II
This a follow-up from Elucubrations
clownesque I
Caroline Woodley, Mayor of Hackney since November 2024, has
achieved a lot in one year!
I
have revisited my correspondence since winning Court Case against landlord and
flat agent on 7 September 2023 and put in (almost)
all together: correspondence with Hackney
Council (Housing/homeless/Council Tax), my ward Cllr, landlord, Caroline Woodley.
I’m
realising the heaviness of dehumanisation that’s been ongoing; my brain is
constantly occupied with never ending aggressions. The cruelty or even
criminality of those involved in preventing homelessness is savage!
At
no point, any of these female social actors offered a decent job! Instead, they
relentlessly conducted a sort of vulgar war on a victim of sexual and sexist
violence!
The
read is far too long, so I divided into two sections: one, from court case
win to end of 2023 – when Hackney Council negotiated in my back
with landlord to keep my Court Case compensation money; the other from January
2024 to (so far) October 2024 – when they sent threats in all forms! Voyeurism on
poverty and Mental Health issues at its apogée!
Due
to its length, I highlighted in bold
what’s relevant or what’s super relevant in larger letters in bold. Anything to do with mental health issues is stabilo-ed in purple whether it’s describing the condition, the triggering
or the acceptance of pain from other parts. I
have also stabilo-ed in blue comments that were not part of
emails. I guess it doesn’t make the reading too easy.
Though
revisiting the whole process is sickening, it gives a great bird view on how to
become homeless. It is Hackney but it could be anywhere... I don’t know, it’s
my experience with a background of abuse of power!
Caroline Woodley has banned me from going
to my local community garden invoking unpredictable behaviour and abuse of
language; is making me homeless, has booked without my consent a RDV with a rat
laboratory expert in psychosis and schizophrenia for deaf and menopaused women!
Woodley goes a lot to events
posing here and there, if you see her, ask her why wasn’t it possible to make a
deal with landlord of a year stay at £1046 a month with Hackney incentive; find
me a safe place in housing for women aged 55+; redo the landlord flat for £5000

RE:
Ms Sybille Castelain of 152 Riverside Close, London, E5 9ST
I
am writing in response to your query received on 21 December 2023,
regarding your constituent's housing situation.
I
am advised that Josie C - Tenancy
Sustainment Officer, has spoken to you about Ms Castelain's case and advised
that she had asked if the Council could
increase the landlord incentive in order that Ms Castelain could retain some of
her compensation, however, this was not agreed. Ms C explained that the view was that we would be keeping her in a property that is not affordable and this
would not be sustainable long term.
Ms
Castelain is aged 55 so if she was potentially homeless, we have more chance of
finding her an over 55 property through Bridge Housing, this would be Housing
Association, long term, and at an affordable rent. [Funnily, this was not
an OPTION discussed while Josie C and ward Cllr were in my flat 19 December 2023 willing to help... there were two
options: letting the landlord keep my compensation money or I would face
homelessness]
In
any case, Ms Castelain decided she did not want us to go ahead with the
incentive offer to the landlord and that she would appeal the rent increase at
a tribunal. Ms C remains available
should Ms Castelain have any further queries. [Josie C savagely messed
with my life between
2020 until court case
in 2023 backing up landlord and flat agent;
again in December
2023: how can I
possibly trust a woman who pleases men!]
Read in Court Hearing - July 2023:
In the meantime, I have arranged for a Housing
Register application form to be issued to Ms Castelain in order that she can
apply to join the Council's housing waiting list and bid for homes suitable for
those aged over 55. A web-link invitation to apply will be sent to her email
address: sybillecastelain@yahoo.co.uk within the next 10 days.
I
trust that I have clarified the position.

Dear Ms Castelain
I am writing in response to your email sent in reply to
my communication with Councillor G.
Ms C has
advised me that it was made very clear that no deal had been struck with the
landlord. Ms C had only explored the
options that were available to you so that you could decide what you wanted to
do.
The Council has limited
funding for homelessness prevention and one of the criteria for an incentive
payment to the landlord must be that the tenancy is sustainable long term. The proposed rent increase means that your accommodation is not
considered to be sustainable long-term and the Council would be unable to agree
a homelessness prevention payment to your landlord as an incentive to retain
you as a tenant.
Ms C has
further informed me that in her emails she explained that you have the right to
reject the rent increase and apply to the First-Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber
- Residential Property), which is what you have decided to pursue.
Following you advising Ms C that you do not wish to use any of your compensation money to
help retain your tenancy and prefer to contest the rent increase, Ms C informed the landlord who has agreed
to issue the £2000 compensation payment to you.
In the event that the rent tribunal hearing does not find
in your favour and consequently, you are threatened with eviction or evicted
due to rent arrears, Ms C explained
the homelessness process. She further clarified the scarcity of affordable
private rented properties, although it is hoped that the Council would be able
to assist you to secure a social housing or fair rent home suitable for those
aged over 55.
As stated previously, I have arranged for a Housing
Register application form link to be sent to you by email. Please ensure that
you complete the application since if it is successful, you will be able to
start bidding for available one bedroom social housing homes in Hackney,
suitable for those over age 55, through the Council's Choice Based Lettings
scheme.
If you have any further questions, please contact Ms C on Tel: 020 8356 xxxx Email: josie.cxxxx@hackney.gov.uk

Jennifer:
"Ms C
has advised me that it was made very clear that no deal had been struck with
the landlord" I have never ever said /written /
complained about a deal been struck; I have always written about making a deal
in my back without my consent!
"Ms C had only explored the options that were
available to you so that you could decide what you wanted to do."
There is only one option... me giving out my compensation + her narratives are
very conflictive!
I have attached RENT INCREASE I:
correspondence from mid November 2023 when
landlord wants a 40% rent increase; RENT INCREASE II (with my
comments [ ]): correspondence when Josie
C totally changes her mind mid
December 2023!
"The proposed rent increase
means that your accommodation is not considered to be sustainable long-term and
the Council would be unable to agree a homelessness prevention payment to your
landlord as an incentive to retain you as a tenant." This is the original deal from 30 November 2023 to landlord: “In this case we could offer a one off
payment of £2000 if the rent was maintained at the maximum she would receive in
Housing Benefit which would be £1046.46 per month." as featured in RENT INCREASE I. I guess this is no
longer available? Or is it?
"Ms C
explained the homelessness process. She further clarified the scarcity of
affordable private rented properties, although it is hoped that the Council
would be able to assist you to secure a social housing or fair rent home
suitable for those aged over 55" When
she came to mine on 19
December 2023, she said I was making myself homeless if I refused giving
up my £2000 compensation! Regarding Housing
Association for over 55s, Josie C only mentioned it on email after visiting my flat,
not on that day. I had no idea such thing existed which is why I mentioned
a Council Flat in my flat, both Josie C and M
G said the waiting list is 10 to 12 years (my neighbour just got one
after waiting one year). It looks like it's a 4 year waiting list from the link Robert
C has sent yesterday.
This is great https://twitter.com/hackneycouncil/status/1745475878073565685 but so far Hackney
Council has only acted in favour of landlord and flat agent; have put me in
rent arrears; is treating me as a delinquent!

Dear
Ms Castelain
I
am writing in response to your further email submitted on 13 January 2023.
Ms
C's role in tenancy sustainment is to try to prevent homelessness and make
every effort
[this is so sickening
to read / digest]
to ensure that a private sector tenant's rent is sustainable going forward. As
part of her role, she or another member
of the team is expected to negotiate terms with the landlord. This is not a matter of making a deal behind your back or without your consent. It is for the reasons I
have explained.
Often, the Council is able to agree terms with a
landlord which do not require the tenant's consent,
other than a tenancy agreement signature, usually through offering a financial
incentive in return for the landlord fixing an affordable rent for two years. [Hackney Council website stipulates a one year contract:
“Our requirements - We ask that you: rent your property
for at least 12 months”]
In
your case, through speaking to the landlord,
it was established that he would accept
an incentive payment from the Council of £2500 [from one email to
another, the amount varies...] in addition to your waiver of the
£2000 compensation payment that he was obliged to pay you, in return for fixing
your rent at the rate of £1046.46 (lower
than current market rents
and LHA rates https://lha-direct.voa.gov.uk/
[It makes landlord looking like a really nice man innit when the flat has not been upgraded and is
in derelict state – FACT!])
for
a period of two years.
A two year agreement is required in
order for a Council incentive to be paid. [Hackney Council website stipulates a one year contract: “Our
requirements - We ask that you: rent your property for at least 12 months”]
This
proposal was therefore extended to you. You rejected the proposal to waiver the
landlord's £2000 compensation payment, which is your right, and consequently,
this option is no longer available. Therefore, landlord is obliged to pay the £2000 compensation due to you and he
is able to increase the rent on the property, which he has done, and you have
decided to contest the proposed new rent at a rent tribunal.
Your
current rent, if your tribunal hearing is unsuccessful, is unsustainable and this would adversely
affect the Council's decision to assist you with a Discretionary Housing
Payment (DHP) to help with the shortfall between your Housing Benefit and your
rent liability.
It is possible that the Hackney
Money Hub https://hackney.gov.uk/hackney-money-hub may assist for a short
period of time with the shortfall whilst you seek another home, however, this is not guaranteed.
With
regard to your comment that Ms C
said you would render yourself intentionally
homeless if you did not accept the
proposal and waiver your compensation. Ms C
states that she did not say this. Ms C
is obliged to inform you that if you are evicted in the future due to rent
arrears and present to the Council as homeless, you may be considered intentionally homeless. Ms C would not make the homelessness decision in such
circumstances, any future homelessness decision would be made by
the officer who would deal with your approach. Furthermore, rent arrears would not be the only factor
under consideration. Any homelessness assessment is conducted in accordance
with the relevant legislation and would consider whether you are any less
capable than an ordinary person of seeking your own housing (not
vulnerable/considered priority need). If you were considered not to be in
priority need, the Council would have no duty to provide temporary homelessness
accommodation.
In such a circumstance, the Council would only be obliged to assist you to seek
an alternative home.
With
regard to social housing, prior to your reaching age 55 on 12
August 2023 [Josie C and my ward Cllr came to mine in December 2023! I was therefore eligible but that
option was strangely not offered!], you had no eligibility to join
the Council's housing waiting list. Furthermore,
since you are of working age, do not work and are subject to the government's Benefit Cap, it would be
extremely difficult to source an alternative, affordable, private rented one
bedroom home for you in Hackney or indeed within the Greater London area. [Private renting people on benefits
are asked to move out of London!]
If
you require help with seeking work, in order that you are not subject to the
government's Benefit Cap, you may find this resource helpful: https://app.opportunities.hackney.gov.uk/support
It is noted that Ms C did
not immediately recognise that you are now aged 55 [So, the woman and my ward Cllr comes to my flat
offering different options: On Tue, 12 Dec 2023
at 18:30, Ward Cllr wrote
“: ... ask Josie to join us for a meeting
so we can have a 3 way discussion around different options”; On Wednesday, 13 December 2023 at 17:00:09, Josie C wrote:”M and I very sincerely just want to help you” – but both missed out
the one option that could really help me!]
Now
you are aged 55, the Council may be able to assist you to locate a social
housing home suitable for those aged over 55 that is affordable. The location
of a potential affordable home cannot be guaranteed, but this is a possible
option. It is recommended that if your rent tribunal is unsuccessful, you
arrange an appointment with the Council's Housing Advice Team to start your
search for an alternative home by telephoning 020 8356 2929 and apply for a DHP
to help with your rent costs whilst you search. You should also make every
effort to seek employment in order that your Housing Benefit entitlement is not
restricted by the Benefit Cap.
As stated previously, I arranged for an
application invitation to join the Council's housing waiting list, so that you
can bid for social housing homes suitable for those aged over 55. I cannot
provide waiting list timescales for this category of home since they are not
separately recorded. The waiting time for older persons homes however, is
considerably shorter than those waiting for a general needs one bedroom
property, which is currently 3 years for priority Band B and 6 years for Band
C: https://hackney.gov.uk/housing-register
I
hope that I have further clarified that the Council was and is trying to assist
you. If
you have any further queries you can contact Ms C or arrange an appointment
with the Council's Housing Advice Team.

Thank

I
have made enquiries with the Council’s Parks and Green Spaces service who have
confirmed that the volunteering
sessions are indeed advertised as weekly sessions on Sundays, between 1pm and
4pm on the
Council’s Parks Volunteering webpage - further information is linked here.
Officers
have confirmed that the garden is locked to the general public except on the
specified opening day with Robin Hood User Group (RHUG) members on site. It is
the responsibility for RHUG, who manage the site in partnership with the
Council under a Service Level Agreement, to ensure that the site is unlocked
and locked as required and advertised. [no idea why this has
to do with abuse I reported!]
I
am advised that officers have contacted RHUG who confirm that they still aim to
deliver the Sunday volunteering sessions alongside their Garden Guardian’s
initiative. The Garden Guardian’s initiative enables small teams of volunteers
to access the garden at different times to maintain the site in accordance with
their lone working policy (which has in fact increased the hours of
volunteering and access). [no idea why this has to do with abuse I
reported!]
I
understand RHCG have also been working hard to create opportunities for
visiting groups and so far have hosted school groups and student groups from UCL
and City University. [no idea why this has to do with abuse I

I
am advised that the RHCG is building a new website for the garden, which will
have more flexible listings of times for volunteering and training
opportunities. Further information is available on the following webpage:

RHCG
have confirmed that they have had no reports of any incidents in relation to
access to the garden reported to them. [Women who don’t

You said you would speak to them, you also said that Christopher Kennedy (Voluntary Sector) and Joseph Ogundemuren (Mayor's Hate Crime Champion) were

who banned me from going to the garden, has not respected the law: they should

as weekly sessions on Sundays, between 1pm and 4pm”], as per volunteer capacity. The RHUG will ensure they
regularly update their communications and site signage to ensure up to date
information is available on this. [October 2024: no signage on the gate, no signage on their website
either!]
Robin Hood Website: https://robinhoodgarden.org.uk/events/
Trustees of RHUG have also confirmed to officers that the garden is locked to the general public except on this specified opening day with Robin Hood User Group (RHUG) members on site. Only the volunteers, who access the space outside of Sunday to carry out ongoing and scheduled tasks have:
access
to the code and garden;
inductions
based on this policy; and
access
to a WhatsApp code-holders group where they have to log their entry and exit
times.
I
believe you were given the opportunity to enter the induction process but may
not have completed the process. [Best way to believe is to ask!]
The
RHUG Trustees have communicated to officers that they unfortunately made a decision to not allow you to
volunteer in the Garden for the foreseeable future. We understand this decision was
taken following an incident on the afternoon of Sunday 3 December
2023 [I reported abuse
giving evidence! This is no banal incident but I am the one blamed because
Caroline Woodley funds racism],
which led to what was considered a serious breach of their Robin Hood Garden
Volunteer Policy - please see a copy
attached. The Manager reported
unacceptable behaviour towards her which continued from the garden to her home.
The Trustees felt strongly that this was
not acceptable behaviour and have indicated that they communicated this to
you via email. There was a further offer to meet you and explain the decision
in person.
Officers
would be happy to help coordinate such a meeting if you would like to proceed
with this, but please be mindful that there is a Service Level Agreement
between the RHUG and the Council to manage the Gardens and they have made a
decision based on a breach of their policy for safely in operating the Garden,
which is within their discretion.
If
you would like to proceed with a meeting to discuss this matter further with
the Robin Hood User Group, please contact parks@hackney.gov.uk.

Dear
Caroline,
I have reported many incidents in the
past years and more officially for a year.
Regarding:
"The
RHUG has clarified that the opening has only been for one Sunday a month
between June and December 2023, as per volunteer capacity." I was never told
this;
"I believe you were given the opportunity to
enter the induction process but may not have completed the process." This is incorrect. I had the code, then
the code changed and I was told I wouldn't have it, therefore I was not given
an opportunity to enter an induction process!
"We understand this decision was taken
following an incident on the afternoon of Sunday 3 December 2023, which led to
what was considered a serious breach of their Robin Hood Garden Volunteer
Policy" I reported on the 4 December 2023 to you
and other Labour party about the abuse against me on that day; they contacted me in January 2024 accusing me
of using abusive language when I used freedom of speech; not using abusive
language.
"but please be mindful that there is a
Service Level Agreement between the RHUG and the Council to manage the Gardens"
I understand that whatever I would say,
they win, so how do we move on from here?

Dear

I
apologise for the delay in getting back to you following our meeting at my

I
know you were very disappointed with the Mayors response and if I have understood
correctly dont think there
has been a proper investigation of discrimination against you and others. I have been considering the options available to you in
relation to Robin Hood Gardens if you want to pursue this further.
As
you know the Mayors office has offered to facilitate a meeting with the gardens. If you want to
pursue this I would be happy to attend with you and although the councils
options are limited by the service level agreement it would at least be a way
of you putting forward what happened before witnesses.
Another
option maybe following a meeting is mediation . There are some organisations

Hi
M,
Following
our meeting on 23 March 2024, once again I disagree with
mediation.
You
have pushed this idea since early
December 2023
- by
email and at meetings we had in December 2023 + January 2024.
Christopher Kennedy, Labour Cllr in charge of Voluntary Sector
You
might remember that in Spring- Summer 2023
(we first met at your surgery on 22 April 2023), I
emailed you saying I only go to RobinHood
Community Garden (RHCG) as a way to find peace at growing vegetables (which all
crops were destroyed by RHCG 'gardener' Peter Moore); to report on discriminations / abuse... as a non masochist
person I would have left otherwise! I
have many times stressed verbally and on my reports that the abuse issue is regarding
/ affecting the entire community!
It
has been of extreme stress to deal with RHCG for me
and the community in E5 as I have
reported constantly. I have taken
the trouble to write a detail journalistic article about it at the end of August 2023 https://risingvoicesbehingwalls.blogspot.com/2023/08/soleil-o.html. Further to that article, we met on 23 September 2023. I took the trouble to then write to Sadiq Khan, his team
and the Labour party.
Caroline Woodley, Mayor of Hackney was aware of what was
going on! On 26 January 2024, she emailed me: “RHCG have confirmed that they have had no
reports of any incidents in relation to access to the garden reported to them.
I hope that this response helps clarify the position and that you can attend
the sessions again as advertised and have a much more enjoyable experience.”
I wonder what she
intended here apart from dismissing my journalistic skills? Was she hoping I would go to RHCG telling arrogantly the abusers that
the Mayor says I can go? Then entering
a new conflict that would prove me to be on the wrong side? Caroline Woodley knew perfectly well I had been a victim of sexual
harassment, ongoing psychological harassment, insults, threats... on emails,
online and through my letter box! She also knew I was out of a court
case against landlord and flat agent! Why
did she then write on 22
March 2024 I was the one being abusive and she banned me from going to
RHCG?
Before
being a Mayor, Caroline Woodley was in charge of families,
parks and greens in Hackney. I’m guessing she knows quite well Vicky, RHCG
manager who also does board games for children & families in parks; or Abi
Hopkins, Chair of RHCG who, apart from being a ‘therapist’, she deals with
children, schools etc.
EcoActive is one of RHCG partners; they seem to know Caroline Woodley; she seems to be happy they got a grant of £250000 from Heritage Fund RHCG organised pollinator’ sessions in Spring-Summer 2023 I was not invited to – EcoActive have vacancies on these topics I can’t apply for due to inequality in treatment at RHCG! Caroline Woodley “... has offered to facilitate a meeting with the gardens. If you want to pursue this I would be happy to attend with you and although the councils options are limited by the service level agreement it would at least be a way of you putting forward what happened before witnesses.” My response to her on 22 March 2024 was “I understand that whatever I would say, they win, so how do we move on from here?”
I
would add today that the whole thing is so brutal, violent and insulting! You
obviously take their side!
Why
don’t you give me a job?

Good
afternoon,
Yesterday,
my landlord emailed as below about my rent arrears: I’m attaching one of his
documents: a word document from his PDF (hiding his personal information).
The
arrears document (in figures - not attached) is vague as is his wording “I must stress this calculation is based on
the rent being £975.00 per calendar month. The actual arrears are likely to be
considerably higher, but can only be calculated once the rent has been
determined.”
Incentive: “Following negotiations with the London Borough of Hackney Benefits
Office (LBH), I offered to hold the rent at a much lower rate for 24 months
subject to me receiving an incentive payment.”: Josie C in CC (benefit & homeless officer) & Lola L (incentive officer) negotiated
in my back my compensation money landlord owed me following losing his court
case against me!
They
wanted me to participate to incentive money that Boroughs give to landlords –
I’m on Benefits and never has a borough asked an unemployed person to give
money towards incentive! Why me? Because I’m European?
They
knew a new budget was being calculated in Spring 2024, why didn’t they ask landlord to wait till
then: as far as I understand from a specialist in Housing working with Hackney
Council, they can cover up to £1500/month; mine is £1350 since January 2024!
Why
is my rent below market value? Because my flat is in derelict state and hasn’t
been upgraded since the 80’s: Josie C and
my ward Cllr came visit me on 19 December 2023. They said the flat was very nice...
lecturing me how to shower because water goes everywhere!
For
two hours, they
pressured me to give up my court case compensation money: they wanted
landlord to keep it... if not I was making myself homeless!
Upon refusing, Cllr filled Section 22
for Court Case instead of Section 13 + most of info she put on file was wrong!
I sent her my flat contract on 11 December 2023 stipulating a rent at £975, she put £961!
Since
2020, Josie C has constantly defended
landlord, undermined me; Jennifer W
(head of benefits and homeless speaker) has cut my benefit a few times for 0
reasons!
In
the Autumn 2023, Josie C, ward Cllr and mayor Caroline Woodley have received
many emails from me being in distress, being afraid of
landlord... yet
they negotiated me to stay at the flat for an extra two years with a landlord
that wanted me out of the flat as part of his out-of-courts settlements!
I
can’t go on my knees to a woman that has constantly backstabbed me / defended
landlord!
I
have nothing to say to a landlord that has no shame to rent a derelict flat
that can’t sell as high as any flats in Riverside Close due to its poor
condition!
I’m
homeless, in despair and the Hackney Borough can’t care less!
I
am everyday monitored by Riverside Close CCTV operator who informs maintenance
guy who comes across my path as soon as I leave my flat (as attached) - They play psychological games... when do you think I'll commit
suicide? [This is a
rhetorical question... the topic of this email is about rent, rent increase,
rent arrears, incentive, rent market value, derelict flat, Hackney Council, Caroline
Woodley-Mayor of Hackney and her friend my ward Cllr getting me in distress!
Two days later, Caroline Woodley booked me without my consent with a shrink
expert in psychosis and schizophrenia who has an interest in menopaused and
deaf women...]

Good
Morning,
I
managed to have a look at the arrears: I don’t understand much but it looks
like it’s from October-November 2023 when Jennifer W suspended my benefits...
FYI: I didn’t pressure landlord to pay compensation though Judge told him to
pay within two weeks following her verdict on 7 September 2023.
I
asked Josie C how much I had to put up each month to cover what the Benefits
didn’t cover; she told me the Benefits paid the entire rent! So, a year later,
landlord asks me to pay £700 out of £90/week I get from Jobcenter...
In
Autumn 2023 I sent C and my ward Cllr G (a lawyer) how my mail was opened: I showed the difference how I
open them (attached) VS how landlord? / flat agent / CCTV operator?/
maintenance guy (they all have my building keys) open my mail (attached)! There
is a note by the letter box asking postman to get the mail in: he never does! On Monday, my mail was open again as
attached, but they opened the way I open though they started with an envelop
knife... I have no privacy nor do I have intimacy: I have
reported numerous times how they enter my flat in my absence because they know
via CCTV when I leave, when I'm on my way back!
Upon all the stressful and depressing
emails they received, why did they [ward Cllr &
Hackney Borough] force me to stay in a dangerous
(physically and psychologically) place for an extra two years?
Today,
I left my flat at 8AM: I didn’t see maintenance guy, Police car was by Co-op /
in red, where maintenance guy lives – as attached

they were very rude II) I did pay my Council Tax! I’m also attaching a letter
received in 2023 where Hackney Council
is taking money off my benefit for no reason stipulating they had already
written to me (which they didn’t).
Following
a survey I filled yesterday, I received a Council Tax reminder by email: very
vague as it doesn’t say which month I haven’t paid… as attached: another threatening email by Hackney
Council. Disclaimer: I haven’t paid yet August Council Tax: I’m waiting my
Jobseeker Allowance money which is tomorrow.
Survey Yesterday I noticed a 5 August 2024 Hackney Council X – previously Tweeter – about a survey “We've
created a new policy to better support Council tenants with additional needs -
but we need your help to make sure we’ve got it right. 📲
Fill out this survey and tell us what else needs to be done to support our
residents who need extra help. ➡️ https://orlo.uk/2MVE5” (https://consultation.hackney.gov.uk/housing-strategy-and-policy/ac25d871/). Following filling that
survey, I received an email confirming filling it at 11.36AM… followed by a very abrupt email at
12.30PM regarding
‘unpaid Council Tax’!
As attached
Questions:
I)
Why is survey so vague? I felt so
insecure about answering that I left all important questions unanswered as attached
II)
Why use only Tweeter / X?
III) Why
not send a hard copy, an email, WHatsapp etc?
IV) How many Hackney residents are
missing out an opportunity to voice their concerns?
Robin Hood Garden - RHG
Today,
I met randomly a RHG volunteer – I haven’t seen them for about two years. They stopped going because
of Vicky’s abuse:
we both witnessed how Vicky
was totally abusive towards her gardener (who left for being abused). They live right above the
garden: apparently it’s a total mess, no progress, nothing growing, few
volunteers attending. They complained about Vicky not letting volunteers
expressing themselves – letting them grow what they want. I told them I wrote
an article referencing to a dictatorship / colonialism aspect!
I
keep meeting randomly volunteers who have stopped going to RHG for abuse and
racism. I am banned for saying to Vicky she’s a racist. I reported to Caroline
Woodley in December 2023.
Woodley banned me for supposedly having unpredictable behaviour; Woodley
finances RHG! Woodley is friend with Chair and ‘therapist’ Abi Hopkins; Woodley
is friend with Vicky (garden manager). The gardener is misogynist and sexist!
I joined RHG for mental health issues: I received threats – death threats – insults on and on
– stalking online and physically. I’m a victim of humiliation and sexual
violence!
Caroline Woodley
Isn’t it cynical that Woodley sent me
– as attached – an email faking feeling for me as well as sending unrequested
advice from my email dated 31
July 2024.
Why
is she dismissing my point / the general issue? Is she pushing me to suicide?

Good
morning,
Following
my email dated 7 August 2024 (featuring below my
signature) stipulating I was going to pay my Council Tax once I received JSA -
I paid £13.06 on 9 August 2024 at 8.30AM
(as attached); I understand payment should have been received by 10.30AM on
that day – I
received a severe letter from Hackney Council Tax Office cancelling instalment, as attached.
So,
yesterday 15 August 2024, I
received that horrid letter dated 13 August 2024; I went into panic once again, high level of anxiety… I
rushed to Hackney Centre between 3PM and 4PM.
I
was told Council Tax officers work from home and I have to call them; I
said I was deaf; they told me to
email them; I showed the letter telling them there were no email address
alternative; they gave me a paper (as attached) featuring an email.
I
didn’t have that email: why
can’t emails feature in Hackney Council administrative letters / emails? Why are deaf people / people
with speech impediment treated as inferior beings?
Why
does Hackney Council offer their residents to justify a late payment and still
go abrupt by interrupting their organised instalments?
If
Hackney Council tax office keeps their instalment organised to me, I’d like to
warn them that next payment of £13 is due 1 September 2024,
but I’ll pay on 5 or 6 September 2024 once I received
JSA. Would that be a problem?
FYI I), this morning I woke up with
mouth ulcers. After
waiting eight months for a tooth extraction next week at hospital, I might have
to cancel it due to mouth ulcer!
FIY II), by
refusing to give out my compensation money to landlord you bullied me to, you saved £2000 + over
£100 monthly! You make
my life hell for £13!
Benefits and Homeless Prevention Chief in Hackney Council

[Giving a talk on homelessness at the London School of Economics and having
people dying in Temporary Accomodation is something beyond cynisism

Dear
Ms Castelain
The
email which you sent to Mayor, Caroline
Woodley and Benefits & Homeless Prevention officer, Josie C on 31 July 2024,
was forwarded as a complaint [On Friday 2 August
2024 at 15:05:44 BST, from Mayor (Shared Mailbox)
responded to that email dated 31 July 2024: “Dear Sybille, It sounds as though
you have a lot to deal with at the moment and we want to ensure that you get
the right help”; she then booked an appointment with a shrink!].
I have since conducted an investigation at
Stage 1 of the Council's complaints procedure and my findings are set out below.
Be
aware that issues over one year old will not be investigated under the
Complaints Procedure, in accordance with published protocol. [Are residents on benefits aware of this? Nope]
Summary
of your Complaint
I
understand that you remain dissatisfied with the conduct of Benefits &
Homeless Prevention Officers, who negotiated with your landlord, in order to
assist you in maintaining your current tenancy. Your comments regarding the
incentive payment and your compensation have been noted.
You
have accrued rent arrears and have cited issues with the condition of your
property, which you describe as 'derelict'.
My Findings
Concerning
the negotiation with your landlord to assist you in maintaining your tenancy; the
Council's position was outlined in a response to Councillor G on 9 January 2024, as well as further responses which were
sent to you direct on 12 January 2024, 25 January 2024 and 30 January 2024. I
have enclosed further copies of these for your reference.
Your
Housing Benefit claim is being assessed based on a monthly rent of £975.00. You
currently qualify to receive the full eligible rent, which equates to £225.00
per week.
Since
you had disputed the landlord's proposed rent increase via the First Tier
Tribunal (Property Chamber - Residential Property), you would need to provide
evidence of the outcome, to enable Housing Benefit records to be updated.
Please ensure you cite your Housing Benefit reference number (60643378) on all
evidence you provide in relation to your claim. [Why do I have to
provide this?]
Your
Council Tax Reduction (CTR) award from 1 April 2024 is
£21.60, which is the full eligible amount. Note that for working age applicants
CTR can only cover up to 90% of the Council Tax liability. Residents in receipt
of CTR, but who are struggling to meet their remaining liability may wish to
apply for additional temporary support from the Council Tax Reduction
Discretionary Hardship Scheme:
https://hackney.gov.uk/discretionary-hardship-scheme
The
correspondence you have sent relating to Council Tax recovery will be responded
to separately by the Council Tax team. The balance showing as outstanding on
your Council Tax account (no.310164873) at the time of writing is £65.10, which
is for the current financial year. [She added 0.10p]
Be
aware that the Council's Private Sector Housing team are able to assist
residents who have outstanding disrepair issues, which they are unable to
resolve with their landlord. The
team is responsible for ensuring that people who live in accommodation not
owned by the Council have a safe and healthy home.
It
enforces minimum legal standards and provides advice to ensure that both
tenants and landlords know what is required of them and what they should expect
from each other. The service can assist with:
*
national minimum standards for privately rented homes
*
disrepair
*
drainage and sewerage defects
*
some pest control issues
*
disconnection of gas or electricity by your landlord
*
fire, gas and electrical safety
*
sharing of amenities
An
email has been sent to the Private Sector Housing team to ascertain if they
have any open case for you.
Finally,
it is important that any resident suffering from mental health issues is able
to access the appropriate help, secure in the knowledge that support services
do not attach any stigma to those suffering.
Working
collaboratively with partner organisations, there are many places offering
support that the Council is able to endorse. Further information can be viewed
on the Council's website via the following link: https://www.hackney.gov.uk/mental-health
Summary
I am
satisfied that the Council's position in relation to the issues raised has been
comprehensively explained to you in previous responses, copies of which are
enclosed for reference. The support available to you has also been outlined and
given your situation, I would urge you to seek assistance from one of the
agencies listed.
Your
complaint has now been investigated at Stage 1 of the Council's
complaints procedure and I
hope that you are satisfied with the response.
If
you remain dissatisfied and would like your complaint reviewed at Stage 2 of
the complaints procedure, please reply to this email without amending the
subject line. It would help if you could set out your reasons for escalation to
Stage 2.
Please
note, if you wish to escalate your complaint, your request must be received
within 6 months of the date of this response.

Jennifer,
If
I’m correct, you are investigating on yourself… and I am extremely dissatisfied! You constantly put me in an extremely anxious position and you advise
me to get help from your sector… I have o trust!
You
keep writing that everything is clear, but it’s not:
“You have accrued rent arrears and have cited
issues with the condition of your property, which you describe as 'derelict'. ”
I described the property as derelict and not updated since the 80’s;
“My Findings
Concerning the negotiation with your landlord
to assist you in maintaining your tenancy; the Council's position was outlined
in a response to Councillor G on 9 January 2024, as well as further responses
which were sent to you direct on 12 January 2024, 25 January 2024 and 30
January 2024. I have enclosed further copies of these for your reference.” I never asked to maintain my tenancy – I sent many
desperate and anxious emails complaining about the landlord harassing me; how is this section
supposed to clarify anything? Why
would you let a tenant
who feels in danger stay for another two years! When I asked you if other people on benefits participated to incentive,
you never replied anything clear!
“Your Housing Benefit claim is being assessed
based on a monthly rent of £975.00. You currently qualify to receive the full
eligible rent, which equates to £225.00 per week.” Josie C wrote my rent was fully paid – this is part of an email she
sent “On Friday, 29 September 2023 at 13:40:25 BST,
Tenancy Sustainment (Shared Mailbox) <tenancysustainment@hackney.gov.uk>
wrote: ...This is based on the rent of
£975 per month. The weekly rent is calculated by multiplying the monthly rent
by 12 to get an annual amount and dividing this by 52 to get the weekly amount
(975x12/52 = 225). We are paying the rent 4 weekly payments of £900. This is
different to the monthly amount but over the full year the full rent is covered
by Housing Benefit. I have shown this below:
£225 x 52 weeks = 11,700. £975 x 12
months = 11.700”;
So
is my rent fully paid?
“Since

evidence of the outcome, to enable Housing Benefit records to be updated.
Please ensure you cite your Housing Benefit reference number (60643378) on all

please note that my
ward Cllr filled a section 22 instead of section 13 + my surname is Castelain,
not Castellain – she got everything wrong!
“Your Council Tax Reduction (CTR) award from
1 April 2024 is £21.60, which is the full eligible amount. Note that for
working age applicants CTR can only cover up to 90% of the Council Tax
liability. Residents in receipt of CTR, but who are struggling to meet their
remaining liability may wish to apply for additional temporary support from the
Council Tax Reduction Discretionary Hardship Scheme:
https://hackney.gov.uk/discretionary-hardship-scheme” I have no idea why you put this?
“The correspondence you have sent relating to
Council Tax recovery will be responded to separately by the Council Tax team.
The balance showing as outstanding on your Council Tax account (no.310164873)
at the time of writing is £65.10, which is for the current financial year.”
Why
send me an horrid reminder then when I have paid my Council Tax so far?
“Be aware that the Council's Private Sector
Housing team are able to assist residents who have outstanding disrepair
issues, which they are unable to resolve with their landlord. The team is
responsible for ensuring that people who live in accommodation not owned by the
Council have a safe and healthy home.” Josie C visited my home and said it was in perfect
condition!

Good
Morning,
I’m
following up your email dated 3 September 2024 @ 10.08AM
as below.
I
note your apologies on the distress it causes me.
Was it necessary to cause distress?
I’ll
make a summary further down.
Strangely, a fake account in my name
announced in Spring 2021 that I was evicted https://x.com/SCSurveillance/status/1388113754521493505 which was retweeted by Emmanuel Tellier https://x.com/Sybillebbldnrbt/status/1549285816849006594 as image shows.
I
am also using this opportunity to stress the ongoing stress and
distress Hackney Council has caused me over the years for absolute no reason! Landlord took me to court
invoking non payment when Hackney
Council reversed payment to my bank account in April 2021 without telling me - making me into
arrears; suspending therefore my benefits without telling me! If Josie C had visited my flat in Summer
2020 [as she promised],
she would have noticed I had no bath, no shower, no heaters, no oven...
Recently,
Jennifer W emailed me regarding her investigation on herself stating she did a
good job… How is it possible to make a complaint when staff investigates on
themselves?
Regarding Council Tax – regarding August 2024:
[I
forgot to pay my Council Tax in July 2024 - I
received a reminder – I paid my July Council Tax by the 23 July
as requested]
Following
an email I sent to Mayor of Hackney
Caroline Woodley and others on 31 July 2024 complaining about Hackney
Council and her Labour friend my Cllr M G, CW
replied on my rhetorical question regarding suicide on 2 August:
making
an appointment to a rat laboratory expert without my consent!
6
August 2024,
I received a nasty email reminding me I didn’t pay my (July?)
Council Tax! I proved I paid my July Council Tax.
15
Aug: I
received a FINAL NOTICE from Council Tax
office dated 13 August
2024 [I paid my August Council Tax 9 August];
I went into panic once again, high level of anxiety…
I rushed to Hackney Centre between
3PM and 4PM. I was told Council Tax
officers work from home and I have to call them; I said I was deaf; they
told me to email them; I showed the
letter telling them there were no email
address alternative; they gave me a paper (as attached) featuring an email.
I didn’t have that email: why can’t
emails feature in Hackney Council administrative letters / emails? Why are deaf people / people
with speech impediment treated as inferior beings?
16
Aug: I woke up with mouth ulcers – Twice in my life before I had
mouth ulcers due to long distance moving: in 2005
and in 2008 – I’m over half a century old! Mouth
ulcers meant I had to consider cancelling a hospital appointment I waited for
eight months for a tooth extraction.
Jennifer W emailed on 19 August 2024 at
3.22PM (Complaint (ref: 27329457) saying I was in huge rent arrears
and the investigation she carried on
herself showed she did a good job!
20
Aug: Jennifer W admitted I didn’t have any
rent arrears... In the night, I woke up to vomit; I have seldom vomited in my life; I hardly
slept.
21
Aug: I
went to Homerton Hospital for my
tooth extraction at 9AM – after injecting a first shot at 1PM
to numb my gum, I unexpectedly cried (I haven’t cried for years); I had to sit
up because I was loud, I couldn’t stop, my body was shaking and it had nothing
to do with the injection!
23
Aug: I
received a text from Mental Health
practice – Caroline
Woodley booked an appointment for me to be seen by a psychiatrist specialised
in psychosis and schizophrenia! My GP tried very hard to do so from April 2022 to July 2022
using different techniques!
Regarding my rent:
My
rent was initially £931. A year later it went up to £975 and has remained so
until now (though landlord wants £1350
as for January 2024).
For
10 years, Hackney Council has not put a single penny towards my rent when residents on benefits
in Riverside Close, E5 living in one bedroom flat (similar to mine) have had a
rent up to £1250 paid by Hackney Council – That’s
a lot of saving on me! Math is not my territory but if my rent had gone up
£50 a year for 10 years, it would be around £1400 monthly. I understand from
someone dealing with Housing in Hackney that my rent would be covered by the
benefits. Market rent for a flat similar to mine is £1800!
In
December 2023, Hackney Council asked my compensation money I won at Court Case against
landlord in order to participate to the Borough Incentive securing me to stay in flat with rogue landlord for two years!
According to the Hackney incentive scheme, the stay is for a year; tenants on benefits are not requested to
participate to incentive scheme!
I
am attaching documents. Please note I have received indecent and nasty emails –
letters from Hackney Council from August 2020! I live in a
dangerous place, physically and psychologically (i.e: my post was
open and we live surrounded by CCTV, why
wasn’t I taken seriously? Why go all sad about Grenfell Tower when we are
treated so badly?
I
remain at your disposition if anything is needed!

On
people dying in her ‘care’, she admitted there were "huge amounts of people
that we cannot provide appropriate accommodation for”; “We don’t have provision for anybody in
temporary accommodation, regardless of their protected characteristics"
(people with mental health issues). If I don’t fill the papers she sent me by 9 November 2024, my benefits will stop the day Caroline Woodley celebrates her first anniversary as Mayor of Hackney!
Going
through all these emails, I realise how often I described lacking privacy,
being invaded by personal requests. Why does Jennifer W want to know how I spent my money and when? This is pure
cruelty, pure dehumanisation. So my benefits will stop six weeks before I
anticipated with the Mayor of Hackney
Caroline Woodley’ approval!

and make me sign on at a time when I distribute food... so I can’t get any food and might stop my benefits; volunteers have decided to not distribute food on that day... so I guess next week am off!
Between 18 &
24 October 2024, I sent emails to Keir Starmer and his governmental staff; the Labour party; Sadiq Khan
and his staff at London Mayor, Hackney Councillors; homelessness organisations;
mental health organisations; Human Rights organisations; solicitors and
lawyers; university professors; women organisations; journalists all over the
world.
