It’s funny how councils have this habit of making you feel like a pupil in detention, while they sit there as if they’re the principals of Sevenoaks.
I recently got a letter that basically said:
“We checked your bank statements and Universal Credit. We don’t see why you need to commute to London. There’s no salary from London, and your spending is all in Sevenoaks.”

📢 Sevenoaks Council !!! You Work for Us – Not the Other Way Around
Not once did they ask me what I do.
No questions. Just a decision based on a few bits of paper that tell them nothing about how I actually live or work.
If they had asked – I’d have told them:
- I run a translation and interpreting business with clients in London.
- I don’t get a neat monthly salary because freelancers don’t.
- I chose to live in Sevenoaks because it’s close enough to London to make my business work.
But no, instead of a conversation, I got a formal letter – the kind that reads like it’s designed to pressure you into silence.
Here’s the truth:
This isn’t a school. We’re not here to be lectured or “disciplined” by people who are supposed to be working for us.
💡 Councils should serve the community – not treat residents like they need to defend their right to live here.
I don’t mind explaining my situation. But the tone matters.
A letter isn’t dialogue. Decisions shouldn’t feel like they’re dropped from above, expecting us to just accept them quietly.
👉 Next time, skip the assumptions. Pick up the phone.
It’s that simple.
