Mother-of-two to take Hackney Council to court over overcrowded temporary accommodation
HOUSING campaigners have condemned a London borough’s “unacceptable attack on homeless families’ rights” as a family prepares to take Hackney Council to court over severe overcrowding.
Sonia, her 17-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter have been living in a cramped one-bedroom flat provided as a temporary accommodation by the council.
On March 6, she will challenge the council’s decision that the housing is “suitable” at Central London County Court.
