Update 6 March: the baliff’s warrant has been suspended for 8 weeks – good news and finally some common sense after weeks of rubbish. More soon.
—————
My latest podcast episode, which is about Hackney council’s plan to evict a disabled and autistic 8 year old boy and his family from their council home this Friday – March 6 at 10am.
The council is getting court bailiffs in to evict the family, which is charming.
As I’ve said in previous podcast episodes – the council does not have to evict this family. The problem is just a tenancy issue and the council could choose to grant the family a secure tenancy to stay in their home. The council simply refuses to.
Instead, it’s the bailiffs on Friday, at which point the boy and his family will be chucked into temporary housing miles from the boy’s school where he is settled with 1-2-1 support.
The boy won’t be able to cope with the stress and he can’t cope with public transport. The council has been sent pages of medical and school evidence which makes this very clear.
This, my friends, is a classic example of reasons why so-called progressives cannot bear the Labour party.
Here’s hoping voters in the upcoming local elections in Hackney put a very big boot in.
I think that is absolutely disgusting to that to a family with disabilities and autistic child they not be forced to be evicted from their home it a disgraced with the council to all this to happen the family need to gets lawyers for this
