• YOUR unnamed correspondent attracted my attention (Abolish Right to Buy, November 11).

I estimate approximately 78 per cent of Camden residential leases are used as property rentals businesses and none have been terminated in the past 10 years.

What is most worrying is that the council is incapable or unwilling to enforce lease terms. So the vast majority of Camden leaseholds in blocks of flats have laminate or wooden flooring.

This is despite the general clause in most leases saying: “To keep the floor of the flat including the passages thereof substantially covered with carpets except that in the kitchen and bathroom a cork or rubber covering or other suitable material for avoiding the transmission of noise may be used instead of carpets”.

Of course, when unlicensed wooden flooring with under-floor heating system is installed in Camden Council blocks of flats there is the inevitable flanking noise to properties below, should the occupants be noisy individuals. Camden housing have no alternative but to turn a blind eye. It’s as if their email inbox has a black hole.

On the subject of crazed cyclists. The other day I seen a male cyclist speeding past Mornington Crescent station during rush hour in the dark with no hands on the handlebars or feet on the pedals of his electric bike.

I think he was standing upright on the crossbar using a mobile phone. You couldn’t make it up.
