The people of Chelsea's wonderful houseboat community face ruin at hands of an unrestrained property developer, council Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea behaving like Pontius Pilate, and Port of London Authority doing deals that'll destroy homes. They deserve better. Tonight I pledged my support to Chelsea Houseboats.
Yesterday this gangplank became detached and fell into the river. Thank god no-one was hurt. Before Andrew Moffat took over Chelsea Yacht & Boat Company these failures were as rare as hens’ teeth. Now the mooring is run by ‘The Rachman of The River’ and (1/4)
John Simpson Thanks John Simpson, we've been battling this developer for over 7 yrs now but things have really come to a head with the recent evictions to make way for hideous superboats. Anyone interested can follow us for updates. #communitynotcommodity #saveourhouseboats
Thank you for your support, John Simpson. If the character of Chelsea is not be be forever ruined, the Chelsea Houseboats community and their quirky boats must be protected
Fun to launch new covered play area at SEAPIA @theventure_se in Sth Fulham, kindly donated by Rockwell. SEAPIA recently got new grant for young people from our £1m King Charles III Fund. Hammersmith and Fulham Labour council is giving record funding for youth services despite big govt cuts.
New Health Secretary needs to reinstate govt's broken promise to refurb/rebuild Charing Cross, St Mary's & Hammersmith Hospitals by 2030. Healthcare for Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington, Bayswater & Westminster residents is threatened. See my letter with Rachel Blake & Joe Powell MP.
Thank you Richard Eden for publicising the ongoing battle boatowners have against the landlord Andrew Moffat referred to by many as the Rachman of The River dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…
Thank you Rags Martel and ITV News ITV London for publicising what is happening to us; the eviction of boatowners by the ‘Rachman of The River’ that is property developer Andrew Moffat youtu.be/21tRfpGHShQ
A Labour govt will help young people into work, not leave them behind like the Conservatives says Liz Kendall. Mental health support in schools, work experience and careers advice, new technical excellence colleges, more for disabled young people. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
Congratulations to Rick Stroud for his latest book, about women of the Resistance in WW1. Great subject, great book.
12 yrs in prison! Great to know that if a mooring operator dishonestly tells a boatowner that a leisure mooring is residential that may be a criminal offence and one that the courts take seriously. According to public records, seven boats Cadogan Pier owned by Andrew Moffat
