In two weeks today I will be presenting this petition to the Full Council, If you wanted to come along you are very welcome. You can email me for details its on the 24th from 4pm in Brighton and Hove. My Email is daniel@survivorblog.co.uk. Now their have been some developments since I last updated you, health wise I havent gotten any better in fact due to the stress and environment I am staying in my doctor has referred me to the Psychiatric service, whilst this is really scary for me, due to the pressures and crisis I am having right now I need this support to get well again. When I took the emergency accomendation I hoped for a place to stay on a tempoary basis to help me get well again and rebuild my life. What I have been left with is cold water showers, poor cooking facilities, noisy neighbours and strange people coming to the door, isolation not being allowed no visitors and yes I will likely lost my personal belongings. I was told today that the council would not pay for my storage fees for my personal belongings. I was faced with no choice, I was given no notice to move and had to get a van and pay for storage at inflated prices because the room they provided me was not fit for purpose. The Sylvia Peckham from the council have emailed me today saying "I note that you mention your belongings which are in storage. The council cannot assist with existing costs and you will have to pay for storage of your belongings which you, yourself placed in storage. Under s211-212, Part 7, Housing Act 1996 there is a duty for a local authority to protect the belongings of a homeless applicant where accommodation has been provided. This duty is triggered only in circumstances where the applicant is not able to deal with their belongings themselves and where there is a danger of loss or damage as a result. A local authority is entitled to charge for this service. You may be able to make arrangements to deal with your belongings yourself. If you cannot, however, and you wish for the council to protect them we can do this but you will be charged the cost of removals and storage. Please contact the Emergency Placement Team on 01273 294400 who can arrange this on your behalf." This speaks for itself, I had to go with food bank vouchers given from MindOUT the own council department gave me ASDA Vouchers so I could survive and I get this. The distress and trauma I have to deal with excluding this situation is hard enough, with this its tipping me over the edge. Please continue supporting my plight by sharing this petition on social media or by emailing the decision makers for change Sylvia Peckham Sylvia.Peckham@brighton-hove.gov.uk or my MP simon.kirby.mp@parliament.uk. We need to stand up against this blatant wrongdoing and together change the housing situation in Brighton and Hove to help people move on, develop personally and either educate themselves or develop career prospects, the current system doesn't allow for this and is potentially discriminating with unfair allocations for those with poor health.
