Two mums have spoken about their 'hell' after becoming homeless. The families say they had been subjected to appalling conditions in the hostels used as temporary accommodation by a London council.
The mothers, who became homeless when their landlords decided to sell, claim to have encountered stained mattresses with no sheets, possible bedbug infestations and concerns about their children’s safety from other residents. While one has already moved four times in less than two months, another spent a year-and-a-half in an “unsuitable” hostel, separated from one of her children, and was only moved out after she got solicitors involved, MyLondon has reported.
Waltham Forest Council says dwindling supply and increased demand has made it difficult to find homes locally. Chingford mum Helen O’Grady, 41, and her three young children were evicted on 16th November.
