I am enclosing here a link to a blog of mine. I am questioning, and that is not only me but I share my thoughts with many doctors and specialists, medicine in general. How much are physicians really looking after us? You can come up with your own conclusions.
When Ealing Council could not provide satisfactory care to my mum and, in fact, they insisted in wanting to deport a lonely 90 years old woman back to Italy, the European Commission in London and all other offices DID NOTHING to help me or her. Hence, what is the point for UK to stay in the EU? The EU on this occasion, and many others, failed to assist a European citizen. My mum died two years later and the EU sent to me their condolences.
Ealing Council is now “providing care” to my 85 years old neighbour. Two years later nothing has changed. My neighbour is not happy with the care received from women that wear a burka, don’t speak her language or English, don’t understand her needs, don’t respect her culture and that simply refuse to touch the food she likes because it is not halal or because it is pork (ham, for example).
Two wrongs don’t make a right and while there are some instances where Brexit could be a good idea, I doubt that Councils will improve even under UK governing its own Country.
The new wheelie bins have been rolled out throughout the borough and Ealing’s Councillors say they have been inundated with a variety of complaints. Residents haven’t received any bins, others have been left with the wrong size and some in flats have been given too many.
The problems are thought to have been aggravated with the bank holiday – collection wasn’t a day later as usual to facilitate the switchover, but many people didn’t realise and rubbish was left out.
Conservative group leader and Hanger Hill representative, Councillor Gregory Stafford, says: ” As expected the introduction of the Labour Council’s unwanted wheelie bins has been a shambles. Over a thousand bins have been wrongly delivered or not delivered at all and complaints are rising.”
Northfield ward Conservative Councillor, David Millican, says he has had scores of angry people contacting him: ” Many have called the bins “monstrosities” saying they did not realise the bins were so large. Others said the bin will fill up their front gardens. I spoke with one elderly lady who was almost in tears as she would have to dig up plants in her front garden to make way for the bins. Most people phone the council and just want to talk to somebody but can’t.
Liberal Democrat Councillor, Gary Malcolm, has described it as a fiasco and says: “Heads must roll. The politician in charge needs to resign. At last count 122 people have contacted me to complain about the new wheelie bins. They are too big, they delivered the wrong type, many people do not have room for the wheelie bins and some (including myself) have seen their household and recyclables left uncollected for at least two weeks. There were reports today of sets of bins not being able to be closed properly which means foxes will get inside them. Labour-run Ealing Council should apologise to all residents for their failures.”
In the meantime…. 
A&E children’s services and children’s in-patient services will close at Ealing Hospital from 30 June.
After this date, ambulances would take children to five other hospitals in north west London: West Middlesex; Hillingdon; Northwick Park; Chelsea and Westminster and St Mary’s.
Urgent but non-life threatening cases for children and adults would continue to be dealt with at Ealing urgent care centre.
Ealing Council has been opposed to the closure since it was proposed in 2012 and said it was a “flawed decision”.
The NHS said the move was part of a broader review of services across north west London and would help to improve children’s care in the region. [definition of word – improve – please]?
No noisy work on Sundays or Bank Holidays
The above are the general guidelines set by Gov.Uk in collaboration with local Councils. So why is Ealing Council operating wheelie bins collection on Bank Holidays?
Currently it stands at 45%, short of the 50% promised in the council’s manifesto, and he added there will be a chance for residents to request smaller bins.
[This is a 2005 Act – Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 – what have London Councils done in 11 years??]
Councillor Mahfouz said: “Wheelie bins will make it easier for people to recycle more meaning less waste will be sent to landfill, and they will also keep our streets cleaner by cutting down on the number of black bags ripped open by foxes.
[The problem are NOT the foxes but lazy and somewhat stupid residents that don’t care and don’t know how and when to dispose of rubbish]
“And because wheelie bins will be collected on alternate weeks, residents will see fewer trucks on the road, meaning less pollution and congestion on local streets.”
[A study carried out by environment and energy authority as given newspapers the following headlines: “Nearly 9,500 people die each year in London because of air pollution”. Congestion and pollution is caused by Local authorities that care more in making money (milking motorists) by closing roads thna actually doing something pro-active to get traffic moving]
Wheelie bins have now been delivered throughout the Borough. This is despite some 7,000 people signed a petition against the changes. The majority of residents don’t want them – they are ugly, noisy and take away a lot of space. As per Ealing Housing and Road policies, this is yet another waste of public money. The company making the bins is laughing all the way to the bank.

Conservative Councillors in Northfields are warning residents that they may have to alter their properties to accommodate wheelie bins which are to be introduced borough wide next year.
In their local leaflet ‘intouch’ they say council officers told them that it was the responsibility of residents to ensure they can store the bins – even if that means knocking down walls or removing shrubs and trees.
The information came after Councillors Millican, Mullins and Conti went on a walkabout with the officers and visited various roads including Belsize Ave, near Northfields Station. There they saw houses that would not be able to accommodate the wheelie bins without adapting their front gardens, unless the wheelie bins were left directly in front of the front doors.
Officers also apparently confirmed that legal action could be taken if the bins were left on the pavement.
The news will cause anger – this year 7,000 people signed a petition against the changes.
In Brentford the recent introduction of the new collection service has led to protests outside the Council Leader’s house.
Ealing Council plan to introduce the alternate collections and wheelie bins in late Spring and are currently assessing properties which are not suitable for a wheelie bin and say they will provide the same service offered to homes on red routes.
They say if any waste (contained or otherwise) is left unauthorised on the pavement, action can be taken. However they claim that they want to ‘ work closely with residents before, during and after service roll out to prevent any need for this’. Residents can store wheelie bins in their front gardens if they wish to.
An Ealing Council spokesperson added:
”Wheelie bin collections have been successfully introduced in many parts of London, making it easier to recycle. We have carried out a survey of all homes in the borough and the majority of homes will be able to store wheelie bins. We will be writing to people early next year to let them know what their collection service will be and help will be at hand for people who need further advice.”
Housing policies at Ealing Council seem to go up and down like a roller coaster. They find it easy to spend (invest) money but their policy implementation is only clear to them. It seems that what they “believe” is known to some and unknown to others within the Council.
