THE last family living on a London estate were evicted yesterday after a day of violent clashes between bailiffs and housing activists.

Disabled dad-of-four Mostafa Aliverdipour had been in court pleading his case against Barnet Council, which had offered his family a series of “unsuitable temporary accommodation” after ousting them from Sweets Way, an estate in N20 earmarked for gentrification.

His case was dismissed by the High Court and a possession order granted to the authorities, who brought in riot police to reclaim Mr Aliverdipour’s barricaded house. 

Housing activists evicted from the nearby squat Sweetstopia earlier in the day joined the Aliverdipours’ efforts to defend the family home.

A Sweets Way Resists spokeswoman told the Star that despite the continuous scuffles with bailiffs and the Metropolitan Police’s territorial support group (TSG), campaigners would stick around.

“Mostafa needs to be protected, so basically people are just barricading and barricading and barricading around that area,” she said.

She added that the day had been marred by violence as squatters were “dragged out” of houses and rebuilt homes destroyed by bailiffs.

“At 8.30 this morning we woke up to rows of bailiffs outside, ganging around.

“They started setting up wired fencing, fencing us in.

“Then they broke through windows and dragged everyone out.”

The young woman and a friend were injured as bailiffs smashed through the window panes of doors they were blocking at the time of the eviction.

One of the activists was arrested on the spot.

Green Party mayoral candidate Sian Berry was at the estate supporting activists on the barricades.

She said: “What I am concerned about as candidate for mayor is the public resources supporting [police activity].

“Obviously the actions of the council and the developers over the long term is disgraceful too, and we as Greens have very different ways of regenerating estates — we wouldn’t have homes left empty.

“But today I’m keeping an eye on the use of police resources — there’s a police helicopter circling overhead for at least 15 minutes, very low, it appears to be taking photographs.

“We hear that the TSG may be just around the corner, which is very worrying because people are doing nothing wrong.

“In the nearby parks, in the nearby streets there are people with their possessions who are now completely homeless and these houses are sitting completely empty and have been for ages. 

“It’s almost a complete waste of time and effort as far as I’m concerned.”

The Sweets Way estate — once an MoD property leased by the council — has been bought by property developer Annington Homes, which plans to gentrify the site.

Annington Homes is owned by former cabinet minister William Hague’s best man, millionaire Guy Hands, whose assets are based in the tax haven of Guernsey.
