Thanks for reading this. I was going to try to sort it out myself, but as I am a bit 'one way', I thought I would get your opinions first. Right, this is the situation. Lets call her V, was given a 2 bed council house round the corner from her mum. She had to really campaign for this house and was living with her mum & SD in another 2 bedroom house. Finally, Haringey Council housed her. V's mum & SD spent a fortune doing up this house and she moved in. Within a week she was back at her mums. Reason - there was drug dealing going on openly, parties every night, cars pulling up at all hours etc. So they complained. Apparently the houses were raided - nothing found. One family got evicted.

So V has asked her housing officer if she can be moved. They have said 'no' because the problems have been identified and resolved. The poor girl is frightened to go back for her post as they all know that it was her.

She has been told that she cannot declare herself homeless as she has a perfectly good council house.

Anyone able to help here. It seems wrong.
