Jagdishbhai, Minaxiben Patel and their adult children, Alpesh and Parul Patel, have been ordered to pay £929,621 between them for converting a Greenford Avenue (pictured) property into multiple flats without permission and continuing to let them out in defiance of enforcement notices. The money they must pay includes a confiscation order of £900,217 plus fines, victim surcharges and prosecution costs.
It has resulted in The Felix Project seeing even more demand from food banks for help, Rachel Ledwith is Head of Community at The Felix Project, she said: “These results clearly show that things are not getting better for families across London. It is appalling that more and more parents can only put food on their table because of a food bank and so many are being forced to skip meals, send their children to school hungry and cut back on other things to cover their essential food bills. The Felix Project rescues as much food as it can, this year we are on course to give out the equivalent of 35 million meals, but this is not enough to satisfy demand. That is why we are launching our The Empty Plate Emergency Appeal and asking people to show their support.”
The Day of the Unknown Soldier was established by the Presidential decree in 2014. The choice of date is symbolic: on 3 December 1966 the remains of an unidentified soldier who perished in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 were reinterred in the Alexander Garden beside the Kremlin wall. On 8 May 1967 the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was unveiled and the Eternal Flame was lit on the site, which became one of Russia’s central places of wartime remembrance.
Councillor Anthony Froud, chairman of the Nonsuch Park joint management committee, said: “This is an incredible achievement and a reflection of the dedication of our volunteers and staff.
“Local volunteers, the Nonsuch Voles and the Council’s Countryside, Property and Estates, and operational teams work year-round to protect and enhance this unique heritage landscape for the benefit of wildlife, visitors and future generations.
“These gold awards celebrate their hard work and the deep pride our community takes in Nonsuch Park.”
The result comes after work to restore heritage features of the garden, such as the greenhouse and the presence of several champion trees, a designation given to selected trees that are special because of their height, size, or significance.
Jon Lambe, Fire Brigades Union regional secretary for London said:
“Senior leaders of the London Fire Brigade cannot claim to be keeping Londoners safe while 30 fire engines are unavailable due to cuts to firefighter crews. The service is operating beyond safe limits, overstretched and severely under-resourced.
“On Bonfire night this week, the service took over 800 calls in London. Yet we have fewer firefighters and resources to respond to increasing incidents due to years of cuts.
“We’re seeing millions borrowed for property while frontline equipment is facing being written off. This false economy will put the people of London at greater risk.”
This is why the UK-jailed Palestine solidarity activists are warning of hunger strikes as reported by Saeed Pourreza in London. The idea is to shame the UK Labour government into breaking its financial and military support for Israel and unbanning Palestine Action! Of course, the mainstream UK government is ignoring this protest and we have to rely on foreign news broadcasters to find what is going on just down the streets we live in!
