A woman who has been evicted from her home in the eel, where she was living with her disabled daughter and the son says she is now struggling in a temporary “inaccessible” residence.
King says that Southol does not have a flat wheelchair of a-bed on the first floor of a house, which is not accessible to her six-year-old daughter, Victoria, who has a Fale McDermid syndrome, which means that she has difficulty walking and has a developmental delay.
This also means that now they are traveling 90 minutes in two buses to go to Victoria’s school.
The Illing Council said it was working to find a more appropriate habitat, but said it was at the “fastest end of the national housing crisis”.
King says that her daughter has trouble reaching the bathroom as it is not accessible to her.
When he was evacuated from the property in the eel, King said that he spent two nights of gold on his friend’s floor before being placed in a flat in Southol.
Despite this, Kinga says that she was told by the Ealing Council that the family needed to be homeless before bringing her back home.
“I think as soon as they have a eviction notice as a council, they should start working on the process that you need to be homeless, before they start searching for you somewhere,” she told BBC London.
“When I came here for the first time I said that it is not suitable for wheelchair, there are many stairs, it is very difficult.
“The first night she was beating her head on the walls.
“I am sleeping in the same room as my 19-year-old son-our pass is privacy or nothing.”
The Ealing Council says that the challenges faced by this family are sorry and it is looking for a accessible property for them.
In a statement, a spokesperson said: “We are at the fastest end of the national housing crisis, and with about 7,000 local families in the waiting list for social housing, just boro does not have enough cheap houses that require one.
“We are working hard to reduce the number of people in temporary housing and get families in more suitable housing instead.”
