I think this may have been partially resolved now but am sharing it here so MNers on twitter can retweet if they wish to .

From FB but is on twitter #refugewomen

"Need help from my journalist/blogger/legal friends. I am currently in a women's refuge in central London managed by Notting Hill Housing Trust. Last night our ceiling crashed in. Luckily no one was seriously injured but there are 7 vulnerable families living here who have fled domestic violence (8 children in total) and we have no electricity and cannot access our rooms/belongings due to flooding. Kensington and Chelsea are attempting to move us out of London tonight. We are all refusing to leave because we know that it means we will out for good. Can anyone help/advise/spread about what is happening here. From 7 desperate women."

" We have been told that if we stay here and die (due to fire) then it is our fault and housing association will take no responsibility, despite the fact that where they are trying to house us is a danger area for a few of the residents here"

Still unresolved, btw. Some women have been given flats, others are still in B&Bs, and could be moved out of borough

They were told the refuge was fixed, they could return if they wanted. One did. The roof collapsed. Everything she owns has been destroyed

Terrible , wanting to house them in areas they have fled from in desperation (at that point it is desperation).

As for outside London , convenient for cash stretched London councils.
