My NY's resolution was to avoid this place but as I was bored I thought I would pop in.
I took a mate of mine up to Grampian Housing Association 8 months ago. He was registered homeless and the council and wanted to get on the waiting list at Grampian. He was told there was a two year waiting list and they weren't adding any more names to it for at least 6 months when the situation was re assessed.
Whilst I was waiting to speak to someone about maintenance there a polish couple arrived. They looked like they had literally just fallen off the plane. In their best English they said they had nowhere to live and had no luck with the council. They were offered tea and biccys and made to feel at home and told to wait until a translator arrived.
Later that afternoon the lady that told my friend there was nothing available arrived at the building next to mine with the Eastern European couple from earlier in the day to show them round an empty flat. My mate was here at the time and we went down and waited for them to come out. When they did I said to the woman "you told my mate here you had nothing available, those two arrived at the office just after we did and I heard there sob story and we've just watched through the window as they have signed, what we presume a tenancy agreement?"
She refused to look us in the eye as she said "no comment" and got in her car and drove off.
Said lady was the area manager for the area I live in and I emailed her and said "I'm guessing the only reason they got the flat is you were frightened they claimed some sort of racism?" She never replied, but then again, she always good at ignoring complaints.
6 months after they moved in who got evicted for anti social behaviour? You guessed it, the Polish. Dealing drugs, people coming and going at al hours. Tesco trollys building up in the front garden, windows getting smashed, someone even had their throat cut. Lady arrived as Police, Ambulance and CID were there the day the guy got his throat slit. I went down and sat on the garden wall with me pic n mix and when the moment arose I parped up and said to her "bet your real glad you put them in there aren't ya? ya could have put my mate in there and everything would have been fine. Now you've got to spend thousands re decorating and replacing windows, nice one".
The bitch even snapped at me "**** OFF" in full view of 2 police officers. Needless to say she wasn't in her job for much longer after that.
