Last week I applied on-line to North Wales Housing. Unfortunately today I received a letter explaining why they are denying it.
"The guidance from the Welsh Assembly tells us that we should only retain on our list people who stand a realistic chance of being re-housed..."
The first 'reason' to deny my application reads: "You have insufficient connections with this locality."
Surely the fact Wales is piggybacking on the English economy is enough of a connection.
It's backwards enough that council houses (in the UK) are built using public money. Then for some reason (to create pointless jobs and to cut council jobs) the houses were sold (for as little as £1 each) to Housing Associations. Who charge tenants rent which is at least lower than private rent rates but still disproportionately high especially because most tenants in social housing are in receipt of housing benefit so it's a bit of a self fulfilling cycle of (typically British) pointlessness, tax payers money is wasted on bureaucracy. So the publicly paid for properties become stock lists that managers 'manage'... Is there a more pointless vocation than middle management?
Capitalism just doesn't work. Money is backwards. I live in a country of paper shufflers and morons.
Good day,
I was disappointed to receive a letter today explaining that you have decided not to pass my application 'through to the second stage'.
I would like to appeal to the Housing Support team regarding this decision and also offer some changes that you can update my application with.
Two reasons to deny my application I cannot fathom.
All of man came from one locale. My insufficient reasons for wanting to live in North Wales are as insufficient as anyone who is currently living in Wales. It's blatant racism. There is no place for intolerance in a civilised society. I hope that you can disregard the fact that the only connection to Wales I have is that I quite like Wales. There are areas of such natural beauty and I'd like to live somewhere I am proud to live in rather than another concrete jungle. What does the EU say about the Welsh Assembly's 'Guidance'?
As someone who works, pays NI, Income tax, Council tax, my full rent, and contributes to the economy surely any Welsh borough would be happy for me and my wife to be part of.
The second reason about living in a 'council' property and not being nominated by a council. We only reside in a Housing Association property because I can't find any private property that is suitable for a wheelchair user. It is not by choice. I challenge you to suggest a private agent that is able to rent properties to wheelchair users. For that reason I feel that this reason is unfairly discriminatory.
I can understand the reason that there are no properties available in the areas I have chosen. To be honest I would have selected areas anywhere in North Wales. Is it possible for you to send me a list of suitable 2 Bedroom single floor dwellings [bungalows]? If you could highlight areas that are most likely to accept my application.
Wheelchair accessible or modifiable.
Thank you.
