Well done Kingston Council sending out

Well done Kingston Council sending out a letter regarding implementing 20mph in the New Old Malden Neighbourhood Area Dated 3rd July 2023 recieved 18th July 2023 Dont blame this on Royal Mail - suggest you review how efficient your internal processes are I know people who have still not recieved a letter No doubt planned in advance to restrict objections etc You have been hoodwinked by Sadiq Khan - it will not improve air quality or see any decrease on the alleged 4000 deaths Not proven in London and I doubt improve road safety Should this be implemented - at great cost to the ordinary taxpayer during this difficult period I have no doubt will cause many transport issues due to cost and lack of low cost public transport in many areas of greater London Sadiq has manipulated many stats to suit bad financial management in TFL and RBK in following his Advice have failed to recognise a Red Herring to the detriment of it s Tax Payers Wake up - smell the coffee Its not too late On a secondary note I await the removal of speed bumps - as they are no longer needed and will stop the Local Community hearing the constant vibration associated to tbese bumps

Drove from Woking via Worthing

Drove from Woking via Worthing to do shopping in Kingston No idea that it s all 20mph on the rds in and around Kingston It was a nightmare tough to drive checking traffic lights yellow crisscross boxes checking speed and avoiding people walking out in front of the car crossing the rds I also paid 5 00 for parking and just glad I had my credit card the machine at the multi didn t take cash So if you ve not card your out of luck I won t be going back and I even lived there until 2016 With all the other charges they seem intent on destroying not only the shops but the shoppers fun

Absolutely irresponsible people working

Kingston Council staff don t adhere to data protection policy and law

It is hard to believe in this day and age that the divulging of customer s personal information can be given out so freely by unscrupulous members of staff at Kingston Council This has happened to me recently when my information was given out to another blue badge holder The information divulged comes under data protection laws something that some members of staff believe they need not abide by I have filed a complaint with Kingston Council after discussing the situation with the Metropolitan Police I am looking forward to an explanation from the council as to why my personal information was given out against all laws pertaining to the data protection act

I have complained for over 3years

I have complained for over 3years about health and safety to kingston council housing for older and vulnerable people There housing officers don t like the truth so they won t reply to emails texts and telephone calls they blank you The so called housing officers make up false reports to suit themselves They even made false claims to the local police To get me arrested How low can people get lower than a snake s belly in kingston council s case SO BEWARE
