Last Sweets Way family turfed out
Disabled father and four kids thrown out of their home
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.
