(en) UK, ACG: Housing Action group stage sit-in (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]
Date
Mon, 19 Feb 2024 09:18:47 +0200
More than 60 members of Housing Action Southwark and Lambeth (HASL)
organised a sit-in at the offices of Lambeth Council on 12th January,
raising banners calling for "no more overcrowding". They sat in for two
and a half hours in support of a family of seven living in a one bedroom
flat infested with mould. Medical knowledge links mould to breathing
problems. An 11 month daughter of the family has been hospitalised six
times with breathing difficulties. ---- The council has been unable to
find alternative accommodation for the family. The lack of social
housing and the housing crisis are having dire effects on London's
working class.
Following the protest Lambeth Council agreed to give greater priority
access and promised a decision within two weeks.
Elizabeth Wyatt of HASL asked: "Why is Lambeth Council failing to use
their powers to take on slum landlords and protect some of our borough's
most vulnerable people? The council have also had numerous warnings from
medical professionals about the hazardous and life-threatening
conditions of the property, but seem to be ignoring these. The council's
own housing policy allows for urgent re-housing in emergency situations
like this but the council is refusing to implement their own policy.
What are the family supposed to do? They cannot simply wait for their
baby daughter to be hospitalised again."
HASL stated that Lambeth Council failed to act following an
environmental health inspection last summer on the mould and
overcrowding at the property.
Direct action gets results!
