HOUSING campaigners declared victory yesterday as they successfully prevented the eviction of a disabled father of four from his house on the north London Sweets Way estate.

The last of the residents, Mostafa Aliverdipour and his eldest son Ash Aliverdipour, decided to defy High Court bailiffs set to come and force them out of their family home.

With the help of former neighbours and community campaigners, Mr Aliverdipour was kept safe and sound as bailiffs looked on from their car before departing without setting foot outside.

Coming out with teas for the dozens of people surrounding the house, Ash told the Star he felt supported and hopeful after the day’s success.

“Seeing all these people showing up, I feel so comfortable now — powerful,” he said, adding that his dad felt just the same.

The expected eviction of the Aliverdipours set the estate on high alert, with ­supporters taking to treetops and rooftops to survey the area.

Property developers’ hired security was also clearly on edge as men in high-vis jackets prowled around Mr Aliverdipour’s home while activists poured in from across London.

A spokesman for Sweets Way Resists said that while the victory was only temporary, “this is a really positive day for the family and the campaign.

“We kept them in the house a little bit longer and we build the movement that much stronger to be able to fight for them and other families like them in the future.

“As long as these kinds of turnouts and this kind of support keeps growing I think we have all kinds of hope to be able to stop many more evictions.”

The spokesman also criticised Barnet Council and the estate’s owner Annington Homes for failing to keep the Aliverdipours informed of the eviction process.

“They will keep everybody on edge as long as they possibly can and not make any effort to create any decent human relationship that their work affects,” he said.

The assembly outside 46 Sweets Way only found out the eviction had been unsuccessful after Mr Aliverdipour’s legal team contacted Barnet Council’s solicitors to request an update.
