Hi @mjgerman, would love to talk to you about how badly mistreated my vulnerable, disabled son has been by your agents whilst living in a property that you own. And how you are now quibbling over returning the deposit despite him having to live in a house full of damp for 3 years

Have been channeling my inner Bette for a while now!
You see this smile, Betty? It's not really a smile, it's the lid on a scream.
The kids are back at school (hooray!) so I have some extra capacity – do get in touch if you need support with stakeholder consultation, managing funded projects, report writing or anything else I can help with: mrsvnorthwood.com/ #museumfreelance #opentoopportunities

London's one million EU citizens make a huge contribution to our city - economically, culturally and socially. To all those who are working with City Hall, volunteering their time to support our EU friends and neighbours with free legal advice: thank you. #LondonIsOpen 🇪🇺
