There is no need for me to fake illness that is later documented as unfortunate. In the world that I grew up in there was no such thing as unfortunate illness. Illnesses and sufferings rob me of my childhood and the rest of my life. I make use of the opportunities in the UK to empower myself. But what LEYF Nurseries have done to me since the death of my MOTHER, made all of my suffering from Puberty seems as nothing. But I am ANGRY because once again the #EmploymentTribunals presided over another miscarriage of justice leaving my life in ruins and I am trying to make sense of why? But I will share my experiences to support others.

To Whom It May Concern
I will be using this #media to address the #glaring unprofessionalism that Fight4justice campaign https://fight4justiceadvocacy.business.site have #identified since my dealing with the County Court Money Claim Centre from the time the Employment Tribunal Services set out to make #MerveleeMyers a victim by presiding over the second miscarriage of justice.

How HM Courts & Tribunals Service continue to Discriminate against Mervelee Myers in 2019
Refer to the following:
1. Ref: PC 2018/0453 with www.barstandardsboard.org.uk Bar Standards Board about https://www.39essex.com/barrister/samantha-jones to clarify my position about terrorists and their cohorts.
2. Refer to www.sra.org.uk about my stance against discrimination.
3. Refer to www.judicialombudsman.gov.uk about how serious I am about getting justice.
4. Refer to www.justice.gov.uk with regards to https://www.ryanclement.com/.
5 Refer to Department for Work and Pensions – DWP http://www.universal-credit.service.gov.uk/…/add-journal-en… when I was #threatened with Criminal Record by standing up to terrorists like LEYF Nurseries www.leyf.org.uk.
6. Refer to Acas www.acas.org.uk/researchpapers recommended to ACAS.
7. Refer to UK government https://petition.parliament.uk.help #standards for how the Government #negligence is responsible for matters with regards to Safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
8. Refer to www.ico.org.uk Subject Access Request Data Protection Act.

Made a Victim by District Court at Clerkenwell & Shoreditch
I should not have to be applying for Help with Fees if 3 scammer #judges Sterlini, Rand and Zimmels did not collude with Winsome Duncan: Author, Artist & Book Confidence Coach to #scam me after my claims went to Telephone Mediation. The CCMCC is a party to F01YJ592 getting away with terrorism and calling www.met.police.uk to do their dirty work in carrying out #hatecrimes against me, stopping Merveleeconsultancy www.Merveleeconsultancy.uk taking shape.

Addressing Failures of Non-Compliance by CCMCC
I have been #generous helping with putting my response by the stupid idiots in Chronological Order despite having the 5 categories of Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) & Dyslexia Support from the time my Father was stricken with Parkinson’s UK disease (www.parkinsons.org.uk).
Refer to the following:
1. My Medical Reports re www.ico.org.uk Subject Access Request – Data Protection Act.
2. Various research at Google Chrome https://www.google.com & my stories at Facebook https://www.facebook.com.

Ref: Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-19-97202
In relation to your Help with Fees application:
Since the documents were #submitted in one bundle why did K Latham get them muddled? It’s obvious this person is not fit to be #undertaking this job, because s/he is unable to achieve the Primary much more Secondary EYFS Curriculum in line with Ofsted www.ofsted.gov.uk Standards. Need I say more?
In relation to your New Issue:
This blinking #idiot is in need of training. I have no intention to sit here addressing matters whilst I should be focussing on managing and controlling my #disabilities. I was asked to return the forms, only for this idiot to get them all jumbled up and as a result #triggering my disabilities.
Refer to the following:
1. See www.healthmanltd.com that advised me to seek CBT.
2. See Maudsley Hospital www.slam-iapt.nhs.uk/southwark where I got CBT.
3. See www.heal-d.co.uk as participant in Diabetes Research.
4. See http://www.radar-cns.org/ when I became a participant in research.
5. See YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg102uOLUAY for how I am an advocate.

Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-1 9-97206
I would like CCMCC to look at this letter again and address this matter. Since K Latham can go into the bundle to select the form they had already addressed and asked me to return, it is clear that CCMCC is staff by #intellectualimbeciles who have not yet achieved to the levels of the EYFS curriculum. If in doubt about my qualifications see For members of the OU- Open university www.open.ac.uk/ceremonies. Of course I submitted the Help with Fees application, received on 22 August 2019. But those involved in perverting the course of justice against http://www.myvision.org.uk will do anything to show that they are idiots. I will end by saying the application was mixed up with another letter sent back to me.

Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-19-97207
It’s glaringly obvious that K Latham should not be #employed at CCMCC making #decisions, but enrolled on some #remedial course. In light of the fact I sent all the documents for Help with Fees applications in one bundle to save cost and time. It’s plain to see that K Latham is even incapable of putting the response to the necessary correspondence. It’s obvious that this should be in with Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-19-97206
Refer to following:
1. The idiots at www.policeconduct.gov.uk & www.met.police.uk about the mess they got into #aiding and abetting www.peachespublications.co.uk with hate crimes.
2. The idiots at www.barcouncil.org.uk & www.barstandardsboard.org.uk for perverting the course of justice.

Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-19-97208
How can anyone be so #stupid? It’s obvious K Latham has not mastered the EYFS curriculum and must be removed from the post with #immediate effect.
Please refer to all the correspondence to realise how K Latham has caused the CCMCC to be in #disrepute. I will put these on my #website to continue my Fight4justice campaign in line with the Institutional Discrimination of Mervelee Myers from 2004 in the UK.

Ref: CM-FRLGN-08-19-97209
As can be verified from the above K Latham is an idiot who is not even capable of the simplest of task. The person mixed up the Help with Fees applications by addressing the wrong form. The idiot has taken the application for £50,000.00 and mixed it with the £25,000.00. When I worked at LEYF I have pupils Manal Shabani who were achieving to the end of the EYFS curriculum. That’s why I could represent myself at the ET/EAT to get justice from being made a victim with https://www.gov.uk/…/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years-founda… and taking my claims to CCMCC. How in God’s name does K Latham thinking s/he can get away with this?
Refer to the following that represented LEYF:
1. The first Solicitor Bates Wells Braithwaite that contacted me www.bwbllp.com on 24 September 2015.
2. The criminal pretending to be a lawyer www.personnelconsultancy.com who will go to jail.
3. Those involved with www.nurseryworld.co.uk #LizRoberts. LEYF claim not to have data for me after withholding my FILE.
Holding an Inquiry in Operations at CCMCC
I am calling for an urgent #Investigation in the running of CCMCC and the removing of K Latham with dealing with my claims.

ARC Manufacturing steps up pace to go public
BY HG HELPS

ARC Manufacturing Executive Chairman #NormanHorne in the company’s new warehouse situated at Ferry, near the St Andrew/St Catherine border

HAD it not been for a certain unforseen hiccup, ARC Manufacturing Company Ltd, one of the senior players in the #construction supplies industry, would have been partly-owned by Jamaican #shareholders already.

But the delay will not last for long, the company’s Executive Chairman Norman Horne has promised, with a new #objective time frame of early next year waiting in the wings.

“ARC Manufacturing has #grown sufficiently that the public can now #participate by becoming shareholders of this #company,” Horne said in a wide-ranging #interview with the Jamaica Observer last week that included, among other things, his #journey from #boyhood to becoming an adult, his #political career, and the years that he has spent running business.

“I would like ARC Manufacturing to become an #institution in Jamaica that will #survive me and my #heirs or children and their children’s children. That’s where I would want to take the business,” he said.

The #prospectus is being prepared and work is #advanced as the company prepares to #embark on another phase of history, the company’s main man stated.

“We have engaged the attorney-at-law. We have decided on the #brokerage firm; we have #identified the chartered #accountants that will be working on this, and work is in progress. This will be a very good #option for Jamaicans,” Horne insisted. “ARC has been a #fundamental player in the building material industry, an area that there still exists #tremendous demand for housing, infrastructure, for commercial development. and clearly, 30 years ago, countries like the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, and Panama were way behind Jamaica in her development. Today, they are far ahead. There is so much more that Jamaica needs to do to #invest in her infrastructure, whether in being able to deliver a hundred per cent potable water, a hundred per cent electricity, important sewer systems; get rid of this #nonsensical behaviour where we build roads to nowhere and create more #communities where social #facilities can be shared.

“When you build a community of housing, everybody shares the #sewer, everybody #shares the water #infrastructure, everybody shares the light infrastructure. When you build a road of 20 miles just to one house it’s just not cost #effective, so we need a more #practical approach to our development. Therefore, for years to come there will continue to be exceptional demand for building materials – infrastructure materials, and we want to position ARC Manufacturing to become the #premier manufacturer and #distributor of building materials in Jamaica,” the man who has been involved in #representational politics told the Sunday Observer.

Taurus: There is no point at all in having good intentions unless you are willing and able to keep your promise. Be willing to act on ideas and set yourself deadlines. Your kindness make you popular.
Evaluation: I am very much going to keep my #promise about getting rid of Facebook. Facebook is a massive let down and not good anymore for my disabilities and progressive Health Conditions.
I am serious about getting my online business going. I have to use my own personal experiences to empower and help others. I have been instrumental in helping to create brand. The most recent at LEYF Nurseries – #LEYF. That’s why I will no longer be giving individual and organisations my intellectual properties for nothing.
As for my kindness which makes me popular, I am afraid, the good will have to suffer for the bad.
I have turned my misfortune into #fortune. Others manage to turn their fortunes into #misfortune and expect to rob/scam me out of mine.
Then they pretending as if I am obligated to them? I don’t pay for any forms of love. Be it sexual gratification or anything else. Anything I don’t have I don’t miss. I thought I couldn’t live without #work. But it’s coming up 2 years I don’t have a job. I am learning to live. I have always value what I was blessed with. At times I reflect on the life and is thankful for everything. I no longer have my brother ASHTER. But my #stepson is there for me if I need him. So those of you, thinking that I am sat here sallymourning about you don’t have time for me, think again?

New childcare provider sought to fill vacant building
Posted on 9:25 am, Tuesday, 28 August 2018 by Linus Rees in Society

The children’s nursery in Whitfield Street is to close at the end of this week after more than ten years of serving the community with the loss of 25 places for under-fives because of a #disagreement between two charities over improvements to the building and plans to redevelop the site.

Front of nursery building.A new nursery provider is being sought after London Early Years Foundation #announced it is leaving the Whitfield Street site at the end of August.
A new childcare provider is now being sought to fill the vacant building which is the only children’s nursery in Camden’s Bloomsbury ward and is regarded as an important facility for local families and people working in the area.

Camden Council which owns the freehold closed the previous nursery on the site in 2005 and wanted to sell the land for redevelopment. But after a campaign by local people the Fitzrovia Trust property charity acquired a 20-year lease on the site and refurbished the existing building.

It was re-opened as a nursery in 2008 after the Trust made an agreement with the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) charity which now runs 37 nurseries across London. An Ofsted inspection of the Fitzrovia Community Nursery in February 2018 rated it as “Good”.

However, in June this year #parents and #carers of the children at the nursery — which is running at nearly full capacity — were told it would close at the end of August and they were invited to discuss future childcare available at the LEYF’s other sites.

#MikeAbbott a director of children’s services at #LEYF explained that the closure was “due to Camden and the Fitzrovia Trust’s regeneration plans for the area”.

This led to people speculating about the future of the site and rumours spread that once again a chunk of Fitzrovia was coming to market and the money men were circling like #vultures and eager to build yet more luxury apartments.

One parent contacted Fitzrovia News to say: “This is a huge shock and once again property developers are given priority over the needs of the community”.

Yet the truth of the matter is more #mundane and boils down to a disagreement between the two charities as they both try to meet their charitable objectives at a time of rising property prices and other difficulties.

According to its 2017 annual report the Fitzrovia Trust wants to build a new nursery, improve the playground, and construct up to 13 flats to be let at social rents. There are no plans for luxury flats but LEYF would have had to vacate the building while construction is in progress.

The Trust is still negotiating with Camden Council to acquire a 125 year lease on the land and is yet to submit any planning application to develop the site. It is unlikely that any redevelopment will take place for at least another two or three years.

Meanwhile LEYF had its own plans for the nursery and wanted to reconfigure the layout so that it could improve the space to meet the demand for more children aged under two years and comply with health and safety requirements.

While both charities strenuously denied there was any dispute between the two of them they both issued #conflicting statements to Fitzrovia News.

Mike Abbott of LEYF said: “After careful consultation with Fitzrovia Trust, sadly we were unable to secure an additional five year lease for the property and it is therefore with deep regret that Fitzrovia Community Nursery is to close at the end of August 2018.”

However Colin Bascom director of the Fitzrovia Trust said an agreement had been reached but LEYF had then #changed their minds.

“Both sides agreed that the simplest arrangement would be to agree a new 5-year lease but insert a break clause exercisable by us that would allow for any potential redevelopment of the site. The lease was in fact #signed.

“We also provided a written undertaking to LEYF that they would move back in. Furthermore, it was agreed that we would involve LEYF in designing the new nursery.

“It came to light that LEYF subsequently had a change of heart but this occurred after signing the new lease. Acting in good faith, we have since agreed a #compromise solution with LEYF that allows them to move out without strictly holding them to the #notice period they would have been required to give to us under the terms of the new lease,” he said.

Both the LEYF and the Fitzrovia Trust have faced challenges over the past decade but the two organisations have until now worked together to bring community #benefit.

LEYF has made a #loss in each of the past five years as it sought to expand its nursery provision and faced increasing costs due to changes in government legislation which made it difficult to recruit #qualified staff.

Its 2017 annual report stated that the employment of agency staff to make up the shortfall had “significantly #increased our payroll costs resulting in £2.3m in agency costs, £1.5m above budget”.

The report noted “there is an increasing risk of over commitment of resources, both operationally and financially” but that the risk was being carefully managed.

The Fitzrovia Trust also described the challenges it faces.

Nick Bailey, a member of the Trust board said: “Property prices within Fitzrovia have risen steeply in the last few years with no sign of abating. This has militated against our efforts to provide new affordable housing.

“The Whitfield Street site is a #unique opportunity to provide a new, purpose-built nursery as well as affordable housing which will be a direct benefit to the community in Fitzrovia. This is not property speculation but development in the interests of the local community.”

The Fitzrovia Trust says it is continuing to #negotiate with Camden Council to build a new nursery and homes and will be seeking another nursery #provider, or an alternative, temporary use, when the building is vacated by LEYF.

LEYF says that staff from the Fitzrovia Nursery will be employed in its other nurseries, and all children will be offered places. The nearest alternative nurseries run by LEYF are at 10 Carburton Street at Holcroft Court and 23 Brewer Street in Soho.

“While government funding and qualifications policies have placed additional strain on the organisation over the past two years we have #strengthened our #leadership and #management teams, #improved our financial performance and are looking forward to continued growth,” says LEYF.
