I can't wait for the next season to begin... looking for some peeps to watch a few games with. I live in Notting Hill, and usually walk down to Shep Bush Walkabout to watch on the massive HD projector... anyone want to join me in August?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 69%. (I'm a bot)
> One of the UK's richest boroughs has been accused of jeopardising people's lives after it unilaterally vetoed a flagship scheme for safer walking and cycling under pressure from a tiny minority of residents.
> Kensington and Chelsea council in west London pulled the plug on the programme before a formal consultation had been completed, after receiving about 450 emails opposing the scheme - less than 0.3% of the borough's population.
> The council initially said it would take a neutral view before a consultation on the scheme, run by TfL, and then listen to the views of residents.
> Will Norman, Khan's commissioner for walking and cycling, said it was "a disgrace" for the borough to unilaterally veto a scheme on roads on which there had been 275 collisions in the last three years, with the vast majority of serious injuries being to pedestrians and cyclists.
> Johnny Thalassites, the councillor who leads on transport and planning for Kensington and Chelsea, said the council was "Surprised that TfL have taken such an aggressive tone".
> A council spokesman was unable to say how it was able to determine that the emails and other interactions reflected the overall opinion in the borough, or whether it attempted to do so.

... keep reading on reddit ➡It is a property in RB of Kensington, the house value of this has increased by 10% every year for the past two decades (exception with 2007-2009). Although it's slowly dipping now due to Brexit, I need to sell the property. Most people aren't willing to buy when there's existing tenants in there as they're contractually bound to follow landlord obligations.
Problem is, the tenant that lived there in 1998 now has kids and she's dependent on them as their carer I believe. She's been able to pay the rent for the past two decades because she's a DSS claimant, and her kids work to pay the rent.
By the way, the rental yield I'm getting for this is really poor, adjusting for inflation, I believe I'm making less than my mortgage on it, even if I renew my mortgage and find the lowest interest. If I could, I would easily charge rent of approx £1,800 pcm as that's the typical price of a 3 bed property in Kensington. However, it's been the same rent since 1998, which is £395 pcm.
Asked for a free consultation with a solicitor and they said the law back then means a section 21 notice can't be provided as it is not an AST or anything that is contractually bound and they cannot be evicted with such notice. In other words, it is not an assured tenancy.
Please help. Is there anyway to evict these tenants?
