I’ve been doing the job long enough to be surprised by very little, but getting an email from a council officer via the NL site asking for (free) advice on whether to make an intentional homelessness decision, with details of the case, was a bit of a shocker.

Peeps, if you want my view on a PCN don't send me only your photos and nothing else except for your rant about the council. I deal in facts so want a clear copy of all pages of the PCN and then I will consider the strength of the council's evidence on their portal.

Do you know of anyone who has never heard of the boat race? Hounslow Council, in whose borough sits Chiswick Bridge to which the finish is adjacent claim to be ignorant of it. Their wilful blindness is a grotesque and shameful lie.
