Cheat is jailed
A man was given a 15-month prison sentence for
dishonestly claiming thousands of pounds, following an
investigation by Ealing Council.
Ijaz Qayum, 48, of Taywood Road, Northolt, was sentenced
at Isleworth Crown Court in June after previously pleading
guilty to six offences involving housing and benefit fraud.
He received a council property in Hanwell after making a
homeless application to the council in 2007. But he and his
wife had actually just bought a home in Northolt, which they
then rented out. He also made fraudulent claims for housing
benefit and council tax benefit, between 2006-2012.
Over the six-year period Qayum’s total amount of
fraudulent gain came to nearly £69,000. The council has
already started proceedings to recover the overpaid
amounts of benefit under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
and a confiscation hearing is set for October.
Permit prices
A new pricing structure has been introduced for
resident parking permits. Households will be
charged more for each additional permit registered
to the same address.
It only applies to new purchases or renewals.
Existing permits you already have will remain valid
until their renewal date. All new customers will be
charged a one-off registration fee of £15 on top of
the price of the permit.
For more information, to check your permit’s expiry
date or to request a PIN reminder, go to
www.ealing.gov.uk/parking
Art of democracy
To mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, an
exhibition is being held in libraries across the borough.
It will be running right through to the start of December.
Ealing Autumn Festival has organised the project, which
has been funded via Ealing Council’s community website
Bubble and 16 of the council’s ward forums. For more
details read the full story here.
