London councils leave vulnerable families far away
A Guardian investigation highlights that some London councils are unlawfully relocating vulnerable families, including women fleeing abuse, hundreds of miles away to deprived towns in England. This practice, driven by the housing crisis, involves paying private firms for placements often far from families’ support networks, causing community tensions and raising legal and ethical concerns. Officials and charities describe the approach as inhumane, with allegations of targeting non-English speakers and forcing families onto the streets if they resist relocation.
