RENTERS TO LIVE ON STREETS

-

feeling upset by pictures of Harry feeding homeless people at Bournemout­h’s Sacred Heart church just a mile and a half away from the Belgravia on December 20.

The star grinned as he said: “It’s all getting eaten.”

Trevor added: “Harry gave out jam rolypoly over Christmas and opened a charity shop the other week. But he’s not come here and spoken to us.” Fellow tenant Joanne said: “I don’t think he’s really taken on board how serious a problem it’s going to be.”

Anton Oosthuizen, 58, who moved in after sleeping rough, said: “We don’t blame him.

“We just want some help to find somewhere else to live. We don’t want to stop Harry dishes out roly-poly Eviction letter to Wendy and Gerry from Redknapp’s firm his venture. We wish him all the best. We’ve sent our letters to him recorded delivery. Why won’t he listen to us?”

A design and access statement by a planning consultant hired by Pierfront states the Belgravia “has been converted to provide self-contained bedsit accommodat­ion. The proposals would formalise the existing residentia­l use and ensure a high standard of residentia­l accommodat­ion can be provided.”

RISK

A letter sent by Pierfront Developmen­ts Limited to Wendy and Gerry Hunt in January says: “Please provide confirmati­on your clients will immediatel­y provide possession on May 6, 2019.”

Bournemout­h Borough Council said: “We would urge all residents who think they are at risk of homelessne­ss to make contact with the council’s Housing Options Team as

Joanne White, centre, with others facing life on the streets as Redknapp turns Belgravia into luxury apartments

soon as possible. Our officers will help them look at rehousing options and make sure they maintain contact with the leaseholde­r of this property to help enable these timely discussion­s.”

A source told us the applicatio­n had been delegated to planning officers so, although it has yet to be formally agreed, it was highly unlikely it would be refused.

A spokesman for Redknapp’s firm said: “I can confirm Pierfront Developmen­ts completed the purchase of the Belgravia Hotel in 2016 with Mr/mrs Hunt being sitting tenants.

“Pierfront Developmen­ts have a lease in place with Mr and Mrs Hunt, and from Pierfront Developmen­ts’ understand­ing the tenants sub-let the main hotel.

“In August 2018 Mr and Mrs Hunt signed a consent order, and notice was served in February to vacate the property by May 6. All legal proceeding­s were dealt with by both representa­tives’ solicitors.”
