Nasty Nick Small. Liverpool City Councillor.

Who Is No Help At All.

Some India Buildings shopkeepers recently asked Nick Small if he would meet with them as they were having a horrid time. This was because of the inefficient and ineffectual builders that saw the pavements blocked and at least 10 holes dug in the streets outside their shops. The landlords seemed to be controlling this as if on purpose. To make thinks more difficult for the traders.

Nick Small is the assistant Mayor of Liverpool.

We heard that the builders had bought the streets around India Buildings from the council for a year. Buying out all the parking bays and having Fenwick Street closed. 

This seemed one of the reasons why all the local shopkeepers were struggling. 

Business was down significantly. Customers could not get to their shops.

He did not willingly wish to get involved. It was only when the Mayors office got a call that he arranged to come out and see those shopkeepers, struggling in his ward.

He turned up 30 minutes late and one shopkeeper had to leave right away as they had an appointment booked.

Then right from the off he started shouting at the small business owners who were worried about their livelihoods and wished to talk to him.

He was taken into Mr Gazali's newsagent, City News. This poor guy is being stripped of his ability to trade by the pavements being closed. There were obstructions and numerous signs blocking the way people walk.

The council had placed signs in a most inappropriate way, that did more to hinder movement than assist.

The main sign was a massive one saying Small Businesses Open As Usual. 

 This was blocking the Merseyrail Water Street entrance.

That sign was, in the way. To make things worse the council placed several more signs in front of it with arrows marking that pedestrians should walk around........ the signs that did not really seem to be in the right place anyhow.

We are advised that there did not seem to be anyone thinking about the situation at all. There were holes in the pavements. One of the contractors fell in one.

Just have a word with this poor guy he was asked may not be here that long if it continues like this.

When told of his plight he proclaimed, in a drunken tone.

“Well we will get other shops in here when the building is done up”

He went into City News along with another shopkeeper and he insulted them.

The shopkeeper spoke English as a second language and luckily for him, he did not get the full gist of his tone.

“I cant see what the problem is” he said “The newsagents was busy then when I went in” he was heard to say out loud. One shopkeeper walked off disgusted with him.

He was not interested at all. He had another agenda, and it was not to help.

Or even listen to people who had paid rates for decades. A random member of the public told him “I walk here everyday and this is dangerous” he said “People are walking out into the road right from the station entrance. People walk in a way they are used to.”

He then started arguing with them. The man went after being bemused. 

He created an argument in the street, defending the developers.

The newsagent was evicted two weeks later and the other shopkeeper has been forced out by the despicable Landlord of India Buildings.

 The Post Office has also been forced out and others are currently fighting eviction by the most unscrupulous sort.

“Thanks for helping Small businesses Nick. 

Or not.

 Lawrence Kenwright has got the measure of you alright.

 https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/lawrence-kenwright-says-wont-stand-14337831

 You were a complete waste of time. You behaved with no respect for the people who get you elected, your constituents.

It was as if he was employed by the developers in some capacity. It seems that he is not interested in those businesses that have been trading for 20 years.

Just insulting them.

A labour councillor in bed with big business. Just like his mate Gary Millar of Chinatown fame.

 This is not Liverpool anymore. This is not a labour council.

 They may as well be a Tory council.

 Even Trevor Jones would not have let this go on.

Betty Braddock must be turning in her grave.

You should be ashamed of yourself you nasty, little, or should we say Nasty Small man.

Worthington Owen Liverpool Estate Agents. Can We Trust Them?

That is a question we were asked last week by a reputable member of the Liverpool Surveyor Fraternity.

So why would a qualified surveyor give up his professional qualifications?

The very thing that gives them the credibility to trade in a respectable manner and follow the code of conduct laid down by the professional body.

Who in this instance, are The Association of The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. Or RICS.

Mark Worthington had these qualifications and they have now disapeared from his name! Why would you do that. Is it voluntarily? If so ,why would you do that?

https://www.worthingtonowen.com/people/

Is this to trade in a different way to those with professional qualifications? To be free of the restraint, of acting within those perimeters, set down by RICS?.

He seems to have made friends with a company called Shelborn Assett Management Ltd.

This is company run by nasty Brian Rabinowitz https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/klFyK7HNkWJ7gTpqTZVjixtGDwY/appointments

and Mark Rabinowitz.

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/CNlMzRSRe30t__xrMz3rgdN-zd0/appointments

These people have a record creating misery and a trail of evictions of small businesses from premises that they manage. We have even heard them called thugs.

And the people helping them with these evictions are Mr Worthington and Mr Owen his partner in slime.

We have been advised, on good authority, of the way they operate. Mark Worthington will go in ahead and butter the tenant up. Making friends with them and coming across as a reasonable person. 

Where in reality he is after the same thing possession of the property at any cost.

 So the owners agents and typically Shelborn Asset Managers can get the lay of the land. 

Then they play good cop, bad cop in tandem. 

While The Rabinowitz pair bully and harass them Mark Worthington offers a friendly hand, to help them out of the situation.

And the situation always seems the same, eviction on any grounds as long as the property becomes vacant then they are happy. 

And they can get more rent.

If you have the misfortune to come across any of the characters mentioned well you had better be on your guard.

 The spirit of Rackman is well and truly alive here in Liverpool.

They say on their website.

https://www.shelborn.com/

Developing more than just buildings.Developing more than just buildings.

We at Shelborn Asset Management are committed to enhancing the value of our clients’ investments through proactive management, income growth and property development. We identify opportunities that are under performing and utilise our skills to unlock the potential.


We can think of another way to describe them. And it wont sound nice.

Here we see the treatment of another small shopkeeper that Worthington Owen worked on in tandem with Shelborn Asset Management Ltd.

They even moved into the building, India Buildngs in Water Street, to befriend all the people there. 

Slithering amongst them, smiling, cracking jokes. While all along wanting to shut their shop.

They even bought sweets and cigarettes there. While all along they wanted this mans shop In India Buildings. But it is not they wish to develop that is the problem its the totally disgusting and disrespectful manner that they treat these small shopkeepers that is a disgrace.

This shop had been part of the community they wrecked his business. 

And its the way they do this wrecking which is unbelievable. There are no ifs and buts here they stink. They behave in a way that should be reported to the police for its viscous intensity and greed.

You have to beg the question. What do their wives think of the way they are afforded a lifestyle of luxury in the big money property dealing world of high finace?

When they are off on their flash holidays or buying posh handbags do they stop to think where the money comes from?

And what of the Rackmans incarnate The Rabinowitz pair of father and son. Maybe the father is to blame.

 How could you bring your son up to spread misery on so many people without any care and consideration for their families? For money. 

What of the redundancies that they enforce?

What of the children who dont get a Christmas present or even a meal.

How many people have they put on the dole?

We are now hearing of a long line of misery that has been brought about by greed, and deciet by dodgy tactics and they have been representing household names with shareholder. Such as the HMRC.

The partnership of Worthington Owen and Shelborn needs to be brought to the attention of the authorities. How can they behave this way on behalf of HMRC. Evicting people who pay their taxes.

Read more here soon.

Have you been affected by tactics of Worthington Owen in Liverpool or further afield?

We are now looking into the relationship with Liverpool City Council and its Councillors.

Have you been shafted by the Shelborn Asset Management Ltd?

Or any of the previous companies (and there are quite a few) that Brian Rabinowitz has been a director of. Such as the offshore tax avoiding MARWEES Ltd.

We would like to hear from you.

Shelborn Asset Management Shaft Another Small Business.

We thought Rackman was dead, but no, he is alive and kicking in the shape of The Rabinowitz.

Brian Rabinowitz has trained his little Rabonowitz, Mark to be as ruthless as himself.

They do not care a jot about the lives of the small people they shit on from a great height.
Here he signs the death nell on another business.

How can this be allowed to happen in 2018.

First of all they harassed this small shopkeeper in Water Street CITY NEWS. That had been trading at India Buildings for over 20 years. 
Then they put him out of his misery. 

All this by stealth in a way that has been practised to perfection. Read more here
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/worthington-owen-liverpool-estate_30.html
There should be laws against this thugish eviction where the owner come into his shop to find he had been locked out without prior notification. THUGS.
But if those small shopkeepers have seen your profits go down the pan, how do they get the will to fight a big offshore organisation.

Shelborn Asset Management Ltd https://www.shelborn.com/are the asset managers for MARWEES LTD. the offshore tax avoidance company that were registered in The Virgin Islands. Then Guernsey.
Who it seems have just made 50 million quid out of the HMRC. Out of the taxpayers. Yet they couldn't treat this man with respect. 

We feel the HMRC are doing a deal with companies that operate as no more than thugs in suits.

MARWEES bought India Buildings for 17 million and then managed, somehow, to get the HMRC involved in relocating to one of Liverpool's historic gems. Yet they send a locksmith in to evict CITY NEWS who are just trying to survive.

We have a Labour Council doing business with tax......avoiders. For want of a better word. 

Can you believe it. They have let these developers run riot in the area of India Buildings. CITY NEWS was once a news vendor sitting alongside India Buildings and when Carol Group bought the building in the 80's they did the decent thing and gave him a shop because he was located where they wanted to build a ramp.

Now we know the area needs lifting but what about Liverpool's historic structures. India Buildings and Holts Arcade was recently upgraded to Grade II* by English Heritage. Then they set about destroying it. English Heritage have passed the planning decisions to Liverpool planners who are using Joe Anderson's DELEGATED POWERS to wack it through for the developers. There is a campaign to keep it open. While they are trashing their way through the people who have been paying their business rated for decades.

When the property was purchased all the staff, some of who had been there for over 30 years were made to sign away their rights.

 The TUPE law that protects staff from dodgy employers tactics was totally disregarded. They found some section in the law that allows them to avoid respecting people who work for or with them.

Those rights were laughed at by Shelborn and the associate company Shield run by Gavin, Mark Rabinowitz old mate, who signed them up for a new deal and subsequently shifted them out to Exchange Flags another property that they manage.

Where they are also running wild.

All this under the noses of Labour Councillors. Betty Braddock will be turning in her grave.

Nick Small is the local councillor.

Now this may all have been done legally. But it stinks of immorality. How can staff complain when they would be sacked and have no wages with which to pay the rent. There was nobody there to protect them from immorality.

Then Shelborn Asset Management and the paymasters MARWEES Ltd set about doing a deal with Legal and General and the property arm of this listed company who agreed to cough up about a hundred million pounds. That deal may now have been completed.

That seems a clear profit after costs to to all the work, of at least £50,000,000.

That's fifty millions pounds of profit to a offshore company and we the public are paying for the privilidge through our taxes. That go around treating people like dirt.

Why did the HMRC not buy it themselves and spend £30,000,000 for the works and we the public would save £50,000,000.

Legal and General have just completed the deal and Shelborn are still retained as asset managers that's very bad news for the locality.

Meanwhile all around the property the existing businesses have been treated like dirt. By scum.

Holes dug up and access restricted making it unbearable to trade. Then big daddy Rabinowitz goes round bullying the tenants with his big speak. “We will get you out” he told one shopkeeper. “We will tie you up with legals” he says like as if he's Dirty Harry. In reality there is only one word to describe people like this, and it is just plain .....dirty.
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/klFyK7HNkWJ7gTpqTZVjixtGDwY/appointments

How can they get away with this bully tactics. How can they sleep at night.

Here the newsagents City News were subjected to months of restrictions making it so difficult to trade....while the shafters were trying to put the rent up.

Then while negotiating with them. He locked them out.

What a disgrace.

They lulled the poor man into a false sense of security, giving him hope, while all along they were planning to shaft him so they could get more rent.

And it was done while he was in hospital.

Is this what Liverpool has become. Another London.

Where Investors and asset managers like Shelborn get privilege over its citizens.

SHAME ON YOU.

India Buildings-Send In The Clowns.

Styles and Wood the big time building contractor trying to establish themselves in the Restoration of Listed Buildings are showing what a mess a bunch of clowns can create.
Upsetting everyone in the area this contractor is well and truly out of its depth.
 Fred Karno could have organised this job better.
What about the existing business and members of the public who use these streets?
 India Building has a Miseryrail exit/entrance for James street so this is the first impression they get when entering the locality.
 What have the council done?
Did they organise a consultation or an impact study? No that's too easy to do and it now transpires that the council have sold the streets to STYLES and WOOD for them to organise as they see fit. They couldn't organise a dust up in a flour Mill.
 So the local businesses some that have been there for 30 years now have to struggle further in harsh economic times. While the MAYORS FUND gets a cash injection.
