Enfield's empty homes

If you've driven along London's 'North Circ' you can't fail to miss the depressing sight of boarded up houses along it.

Nearly 360 homes along the A406 in Enfield are owned by Transport for London (TfL). They were compulsorily purchased in the 1970s for an abandonned scheme to widen the road. They have been in a state of disrepair, vacant or offered temporary homes of poor standard ever since!

We're not a political book group, but it's difficult not to get cross when some 15,000 people are homeless in London. Please sign this petition organised by one of our members.
