Family kicked out with nowhere to go
Council ‘denies’ Sweets Way kids housing
A FAMILY evicted from an estate earmarked for regeneration was left with nowhere to go yesterday after Barnet Council reportedly refused to find them a suitable home.
The Karagozes were the last of the 10 families evicted from the Sweets Way estate promised new homes after the council came under pressure from the community.
Eldest daughter Fatos Karagoz was one of the protesters outside Barnet housing services on Monday demanding her parents and 12 year-old brother were rehoused in the borough.
