A crooked Haringey Council housing boss who had previous convictions for benefit fraud but was allowed by Haringey council to run its housing section, abused her powers by allowing friends to skip waiting lists and get council homes and then pocketed money from bogus insurance claims is behind bars today.

Jeanette Mapp, 42, failed to record on council files when properties for council tenants became vacant and allocated them to her friends and relatives instead, Southwark Crown Court heard.

She then claimed cheques and DIY store vouchers worth thousands of pounds by claiming the flats and houses were flood damaged and kept the illegally obtained money.

Yardie links

The court heard she used some of the cash to pay off debts amassed by her ‘violent’ lover, Roy Blair, a criminal who has since been deported to Jamaica for gang related crimes and gang related Yardie violence.

Mapp abused her position as Haringey’s housing manager between February 2002 and January 2003. Her scam to rip off poor council tenants was uncovered when council officials visited one of her properties in Kessock Close, Tottenham.

It emerged that council houses for the homeless were being let out in the names of either her lover, Blair; his brother, his friends or even his mother, who had never stepped foot in the UK, the court heard. Instead they were Jamaican nationals operating an international scheme to defraud the local council and deny local families homes from the council stock.

Mapp asked the council for a series of cheques totalling £5,000 which were made payable to her friends who then forwarded the cash to her Jamaican criminal gangster lover Blair.

Fraud and abuse of power

She even requested cash for tenants who were no longer alive, when friends moved into their flats after their deaths.

Over a period of two-and-a-half years of the conspiracy, she claimed £10,000 in income support while working for housing departments in Islington or Haringey.

Mapp, of Windmore Close, Wembley, admitted ten counts of misconduct in public office and ten of obtaining a money transfer by deception.

Jailing her for 13 months on Thursday, Judge Neil Stewart said: “The employment you obtained is wholly based on the presupposition that public trust is put in you to perform your duties honourably and impartially.

“When I look at the nature of your position, and the way you have abused it, the conclusion to which I am driven is they are offences which are serious. Nothing other than a custodial sentence can be justified.”

Tip of the iceberg

Cases like this happen every day in Britain, but local councils are so corrupt and inept that they are never discovered. This is why it is essential that you vote BNP in the local elections.

Once a BNP councillor is elected in a council ward the other parties go into public meltdown. They know we will not tolerate their lies, criminality, their corruption and misuse of public funds for personal profit. The BNP is that light that makes the enemies of democracy whither away.

Influence beyond our numbers

Wherever we stand we have a real and powerful effect. No asylum seeker distribution centres are built in towns where BNP councillors are elected. Just the presenc of ONE BNP councillor ensures no more bus loads of asylum seekers are dumped in local hotels by the Home Office in towns and cities where we sit on the local councils.

Inward investment from government floods in to the areas where BNP councillors are elected in order to try and bribe the electorate into not voting for us next time.

Inward investment and regeneration money floods into the towns as the government suddenly ‘wakes up’ to the issues of social deprevation of the indigenous white communities.

Local housing stock is allocated on the basis of need once again rather than being allocated only to immigrants and asylum seekers as is often the case in many towns and cities across Britain.

The local police start to listen once more to the voice of the people and tackle local crime rather than kowtowing to the endless whines of the local Commission for Racial Equality chief in the town.
