Bailiffs to evict last Sweets Way family
Council denies disabled father new house after rent difficulty

THE last family living on north London’s Sweets Way estate was told yesterday that they would made homeless on Monday by High Court bailiffs.

Mostafa Aliverdipour and his family have one last weekend on the estate but Barnet Council has not yet provided them with a new home.

The disabled father of four, who suffers from severe mobility restrictions, has been left in such a state by the local authority’s lack of support that he recently attempted to take his own life.
