Police label protesting young homeless kids ‘intimidating’

POLICE complained that homeless children were “intimidating” council workers yesterday, after dozens showed up to protest against evictions sparked by a regeneration project.

Several children took advantage of half-term to come and demonstrate outside Barnet Council housing offices joining 60 other local residents.

The protest was called by Barnet Housing Action Group after 10 families living on Sweets Way estate were evicted ahead of demolition to make way for new luxury homes.
