Some of you will have read my threads on my neighbours but we are pushing to get moved, having the housing manager coming out tomorrow and I want to get out of here. My SIL is in Bolton and I have expressed an inerested in 2 houses up there. Homeless won't help because the police can't give me a letter, council want to me to start the eviction process (ie complain and get them to sort it out or face eviction) but I can't do that as I know it will make things worse. Now I need some help to get us moved, I have 2 disabled kids and they can't live like this, and I have to go out a lot for appointments etc and its so scary going out. Please help me.

Don't give up sparkly, you are strong and you know you can do all of this - because you know it's the only way to get it done.

Whilst you are being told you are adequately housed and do not have enough priority for a move use the time to provide proof for the extra points.
Without proof the points will never happen - BUT in the meantime a suitable house could come up, but they won't be able to offer it to you because you haven't got the points.

As much as a pain as it is, logs have to be kept up to date. More visits to the GP need to be made, letters from victim support need to be obtained and constant logs with asbo (which will lead to letters of support) need to be made.
Without this you will not get the points.

There are a procedures to go through before they can re-house and it's up to you to make sure all the boxes get ticked - and then you will be moved.
More contact with GP and asbo will also help the SW, so that she no longer needs to use the word allegedly

My sympathies are sent with this. stay strong and stick with it.

as a foornote - When my partner was battering me it took them 19 months to move me (that, along with what I'm going through now is why I know what needs to be done)

they have parked across the drive completely blocking us in, I can't get out to pick up my kids, my mum is picking them and taking them to hers, the council mananger is doing a drive by atm to witness it.

Why can't the police tow away the vehicle blocking your drive? This is ludicrous, I could scream for you. Have you rung the police again?

the police have said that I can have them done for harrassment but only when I want too. I'm scared I really am.....

I know you are, I would be too but perhaps it is about time the police did their job and arrested him for harrassment. He would know you mean business, you're not scared of him and he won't win. I know you are scared and so is your DH but remember he is a known criminal, there is a limit to what he will actually do or he knows he will end up back in prison. Could it get any worse than it is now? Have you told the police you can't get out to pick up your children? The papers would have a field day with this but I imagine you feel it would make it worse for you.

Don't you know anyone with a pick up truck who could tow it away by mistake then drop it from a great height!!!??

Angry for you.

The housing manager phoned me back, she has taken a photo and seen what they are doing. She said she had my housing form in front of her and ask what areas I wanted, told her. She said she is coming out on monday with the ASBOs team. Have just spoken to SS and she is phoning the housing manager now.

SW said that if we say that Ds will be using a wheelchair in the future that they will have to find a four bed bungalow and there isn't any so she needs to know if Ds will be using a wheelvchair when he is bigger, I said I didn't know.

KBear · 09/06/2005 17:07

at least someone is doing something for you, fingers crossed. is the car still there?

spacecadet · 09/06/2005 17:09

hurray for the housing manager who photographed them blocking your drive, with any luck, now you have proof and itsbeen witnessed by one of their team, they will award you the extra points, as far as the gp is concerned, he/she should have called back, pester them, you are the patient and your gp has a duty of care to you.
