A MOTHER and her three young children were left sleeping on a police station floor after her employer Newham Council failed to find her emergency shelter when the family was made homeless.

Newham only provided temporary accommodation for Zineb Saafan and her three under-sixes after Focus E15 campaigners descended on the council’s housing offices yesterday.

Ms Saafan — who works as a cleaner on minimum wage at the council’s Stratford High Street offices — had to spend the night in Forest Gate police station after her private landlord’s two-week eviction notice ended.
