Does Hackney council's persecution of this disabled and autistic child and his family go on and on or what. This Friday - 18 September - Hackney council will make ANOTHER attempt to force 8 year old Kayden and his family out of their council home and into temporary housing. Charity, the boy's mother, has been told that she must agree by Friday to leave the family's council home of 20 years and move into temporary housing - even though the council could let them stay.

She didn't realise her sister in law should have assigned the tenancy to Charity when the sister in law left. The Greens took the family's side when Labour tried to evict them before the May loca...

We return to East Devon! - where Mr T, our disabled ex-services man, continues to live in non-adapted temporary housing. He has to crawl to the bathroom and sleeps on a mat because there is no room for his wheelchair. Great stuff. East Devon council is supposed to be fixing his main home, which is a council place with such bad damp and mould that Mr T's wheelchair fell through the floorboards. East Devon has not been fast to respond to these issues, but we will most ce...
