Disappearing schools, families forced out – and we call this progress
“Last week, Lambeth announced that a secondary school founded in 1685 will close for good this summer, with its students farmed out elsewhere. In Camden, St Michael’s primary will not even make the end of the school year – it closes this month, the fourth in the borough to go since 2019. Days before the Easter holiday, Hackney warned that two of its primaries are likely to fold and another four may have to merge to survive. Neighbouring Islington is considering closures, while Southwark believes 16 primaries are at risk.
“This is a huge story, not only about marooned children and panicked parents, or redundant teachers and struggling councils, but the very future of our major cities. These schools are not shutting because they are bad, but because inner London no longer has enough children to fill them. The dead centre of Britain’s political and economic powerhouse is driving out families – and its education system is now taking an almighty hit. Hackney, for instance, has 589 fewer kids in reception today than it did in 2014, a shortfall equivalent to about 20 vacant classrooms. Since schools mainly receive cash per pupil, empty desks mean debts, and debts force closures …
“If this historic shift has a hinge point, it’s the 2010s, when two big forces began reshaping the capital. The first came from Downing Street: since David Cameron moved into No 10, successive Tory governments have taken benefit money from the very youngest and handed it to the oldest. The Resolution Foundation calculates that newborns have lost £1,500 a year in entitlements, while those aged 80 and above have gained more than £500 …
“The post-crash decade also saw inner London turned into a theme park for property speculators. The Bank of England was spraying about hundreds of billions of pounds like it was champagne at a grand prix, the then chancellor George Osborne was chucking taxpayer’s money at the property market, and London councils, including some of Gould’s Labour colleagues in Camden, were allowing developers to run riot. The arguments about gentrification soon descended into cliches about hipsters and Foxtons, when what was really being decided was who would live in the city and who it would serve.”

Sunak: puppet on a string.
Britain has both freehold and leasehold homes, the former being where the buyer owns both the house and the land it is built on.  Under leasehold arrangements the buyer does not own the land the house is built on and they must pay “ground rent" to whoever owns the land.
Leasehold properties have been described as “last redoubt of a colonial relic". Whereas most civilised countries have abandoned this “feudal” system of property ownership, here in England it has enjoyed a  resurgence in recent years.
In 1996, just 22% of UK new-builds were leasehold but by 2017 this figure had risen to 43%. Leaseholds have  continued to rise, the governments own figures stating there were nearly 5 million homes that were leasehold at the beginning of 2022.
In the past it was mainly apartments that were leasehold, and it was not uncommon for leasehold agreements to be set for 999 years. In addition, leasehold property owners were often only charged a  “peppercorn” rent.  This gave the leasehold tenant a certain amount of long-term security. This has changed dramatically in recent years.
Greedy housing developers have been selling leasehold properties with hidden clauses that allow 10-year renewal dates for ground rent increases.
“Although unsuspecting first-time buyers were frequently told that 999 year leases were “virtually freehold”, the clauses meant that the ground rent would soon spiral to absurd levels. The government quotes a family house where the ground rent is expected to hit £10,000 a year by 2060.” (Guardian: 25/07/17)
Such was the outcry at the unbridled greed of property developers and others who were the beneficiaries of this scandalous affair that:
“…government pledges to make it cheaper to extend leases and cut ground rents. Homeowners will be able to extend their leases by 990 years under new plans."  (Which: 07/01/21)
Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, reiterated this promise, at the beginning of the year:
“What are leaseholds: Michael Gove vows to scrap the system. Gove’s new pledge could help millions of homeowners struggling with costly leaseholds” (Evening Standard: 31/01/23)
That was then. This is now.
“Plans to abolish leaseholds in England and Wales have been dropped after a row between Michael Gove and Downing Street.”  (Metro: 11/05/23)
Put simply, the rich backers of the Tory party are totally opposed to giving up the rich cow that is leasehold ground rents. Gove might be an honourable man on this occasion, and trying to do the “right thing”, but Rishi Sunak is not. He has caved in to his rich and powerful backers, and it is ordinary working families who will, as always, have to pay the price.

Picture Perfect 132
Picture Perfect 132 Dan exited Dr. Grey’s office pleased with results of  the examination. The past two weeks of nightly self-treatment had paid off. The damage was repairing itself & this eyes were no worse from John Kilpatrick’s assault two months ago.  After his vacation he was eager to get back to work.

Triggered
Nearly two years later, I still get PTSD when I hear building noise. If I feel the slightest vibration through the walls or floor, I completely freeze and my mind goes to jelly, so triggered am I by anything hinting at builders or indeed any tradespeople in my general vicinity. It all stems from the day I found out that my mother had died. Whenever you watch some television drama or film that…
