LTNman - I don't know why you are just posting to an obscure part of a website about something so serious. Send emails to people in central Govt in Westminster about this in a way that it cannot be ignored (or "filed" in Humphrey Appleby speak). Talk to journalists in the local press. Shout. Scream. Pester civil servants about this. Get somebody in a position of power to act on this. Force the issue. Be an aggressive little sh*t (not an insult, just how Mrs Johnson describes me when I want something). I used to live in Croydon, whose council went bankrupt - I know how seriously Westminster takes these things when residents protest in a targetted way. You know far more about this than any of us.
