“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Flat That Tried to Kill Us: Sewage, Surveillance, and Section 20 Pressure

Filed Date: 14 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A11-ELGIN-CHAT
Court File Name: 2025-07-14_Addendum_ElginCrescent_HousingHazard_WhatsAppEvidence
1-line Summary: WhatsApp chat with landlord confirms sewage-related housing hazard, illness, displacement, and ignored safety warnings.

I. What Happened

This document contains a WhatsApp transcript between Polly Chromatic and Elad Katz, landlord agent for the hazardous tenancy at 37E Elgin Crescent, W11 2JD. The messages span June to December 2023 and chronicle a months-long pattern of:

  • Neglected repairs

  • Exposure to cracked sewer pipes

  • Repeated illness of Polly and her four children

  • Admissions by the agent that Thames Water and communal building managers were involved

  • Polly's inability to remain in the home due to severe asthma attacks, lost voice, and dizziness

  • Eventual forced hotel displacement

  • And—finally—Elad’s departure, handing the case to Chestertons.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

This transcript provides real-time, contemporaneous evidence that:

  • The housing was medically unsafe.

  • The landlord and agent were repeatedly informed of health risks.

  • The situation required Thames Water intervention.

  • The family was displaced due to environmental illness.

  • Polly explicitly stated that she could not speak due to the damage caused by the flat, months prior to her documented voice impairment diagnosis.

  • These issues predated Westminster’s safeguarding escalation—rendering the subsequent retaliatory EPO both procedurally and morally perverse.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd. is formally recording this chat to refute Westminster Children’s Services' insinuation that the family’s housing concerns were unfounded or secondary. The cause of medical trauma, silence, and displacement is clearly established here. This chat is a pre-safeguarding snapshot of the actual origin of institutional harm—before the narrative was weaponised against the mother.

IV. Violations

  • Article 8, ECHR – Violation of the right to home and family life

  • Children Act 1989 – Breach of duty to support a family in environmental danger

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate Polly’s disability

  • UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Denial of health-related accommodation

  • Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 – Failure to act on known sewer contamination

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Institutional complicity in the outcome of her vocal and physical impairment

V. SWANK’s Position

This document confirms the mother repeatedly raised concerns about illness and uninhabitable conditions prior to any social work intervention. Westminster’s failure to acknowledge the timeline of causality constitutes gross negligence and undermines the lawfulness of the children’s removal. The WhatsApp chat is not “informal” — it is a formal timeline of institutional breach, and it will be submitted in every forum necessary to restore this family’s rights.
