Ealing

Ealing Council currently has more than 600 single women on its waiting list and over 8,000 households in the borough waiting for a home.

Ealing Council said many of these homes were no longer fit for modern living standards and were not fit for refurbishment.

Ms Aird was living in a secure tenancy flat in Ealing with her three children, aged three, five and seven, but was moved to temporary accommodation in Hounslow in 2021 after witnessing a stabbing.

Ealing Council said Ms Aird was recently made offers of "suitable properties both in and out of the borough within easy reach of her support networks", which she refused.

She is now being evicted from the two-bedroom property by the landlord, but says Ealing Council has only offered her unsuitable alternative accommodation, including one flat an hour away from her children's school.
