E15 mums take protest to the council

NOT one of Newham’s 60 Labour councillors has shown their support for homeless mums occupying an empty block of flats — but they did order that their water supply be turned off.

The E15 mothers, their children and supporters will publicly shame the east London council for its callous actions at a protest outside its meeting tonight.

The mums have been fighting for decent homes for themselves and their children since the council closed the hostel they were living in, due to budget cuts.
