Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I am a single mum of a teenager and a youth, I live in a two bed house in North London I have been applying for a three bed house swap for years and was put on the council exchange August last year I was physically assaulted the offender said if I call the police stated in his own wording if I called the police and he gets nicked you will burn my yard down with my youth in it obviously I call the police during the time of remand he was informed that a trial and jury will take place after this information was released three days after my house was set on fire obviously the offender got somebody to do it but please could not prove nothing except saying it was deliberate arson and close the case so offender is from Haringey and also happens to be by living illegally with a resident who lives a few doors down from me bare in mind I only had seen him a few times on our street considering he had been living there for 7 months. After that assault and finding out that he resided a few doors down with the legal tenant.

I'll get to my points now otherwise it would not make sense.

Say I was offered emergency accommodation in Tottenham which is miles away from where I live also due to issues I cannot move there so I refused I was then offered accommodation either in a hotel where where they they did not know no where it would be until I agreed or to go into temporary accommodation in Ealing.

As a single parent I think Haringey council missed a very serious point my children they are traumatised and are seeking therapy from the school what Haringey council did not understand was it would not be healthy for my children to move to any of the suggested areas and for children to go to another school temporary while they find us permanent accommodation also the fact that I have been awaiting for a 3-bed for so many years and was told I will not get a free bed when I get permanent accommodation because it's like-for-like I did not see the point of moving from a very nice area into a2 bed and with all due respect a area that are not familiar with and is known as a rough area and then to move again  and 2 to a permanent accommodation which would have been a to2 bed so I refused.. I have been physically and mentally damaged my children are mentally traumatised I have to start my life all over again n&a different area is no support of family all my friends and local support I would have had to leave behind I cannot understand how Haringey council would not just move me in a suitable located area into a 3-bed it has almost been a year social services waiting forms due to the safety of the children they are also so disgusted buy Haringey council could not provide such a simple needs.

I'm just upset that they would not listen to the police no doctors or social services stating how physically and mentally this is damaging my family and my housing manager to think that children adapt and they will just have to get on with it in a temporary school and then when we are in permanent accommodation then they can settle down and also the fact I will have to upheave my children I almost furniture into a 2 bird and and then into a 3-bed it just not does not make any sence I have emailed every official person in Haringey council that I can think of that has to do with housing and I have been let down I am deteriorating very badly due to that anxiety stress and depression is has caused 2-weeks ago go social worker told me I will have to accept the temporary accommodation it will be a 2 bed and while in temporary accommodation I have to apply for a three bed I have been a a full-time resident of Haringey council for 20 years and have owned a full tenancy 4 10 years

Is absolutely heartbreaking that my children are paying the price then seeing the pain and heartache I'm going through especially as I was innocent just at the wrong place at the wrong time all we want to do is move into a 3-bed and start our  lives

Apparently we are still on band A a house in manager has stopped all communication with me mi-soul social work I've got in touch two weeks ago and said they are finding me temporary accommodation and I must accept it

Can anyone advise me I help me PLEASE

Hi Jo Jo, so sorry to hear this, it's a terrible situation for you and your children.  I have sent your a private connection,  I can't you help myself but I may be able to put you in touch with someone that can.

I would be very grateful with any information that could help us .

I am not sleeping at all at night as I fear someone will try to cause harm in some sort of way the offender has been sentenced to 8 years in prison 4 on a fixed custodial sentence and four of them on an extended licence. At night-time early hours of the morning at least three times a week cars pull up outside the house with people in it with masks  parked across the road from my house  bare  in mind offenders partner is two doors down for me and obviously he's friends entertain her .

They will make any sort of noise to get my attention when they see me looking out of the window they let me know that they are there the actions and looks are intimidatingI am on police protection and they will be at my address within minutes when I call 

 The police cannot do anything as they're not committing a crime and they state that they are there are to see their friend.

This is happening at least three times a week and I am physically and mentally exhausted I just want to move and get on with my life with my children.

Thank you so much

I will speak to my friend tomorrow (Monday) and message you back.  So sorry you are going through all of this, it's awful that you feel threatened in your own home, very distressing for you and the children.  I will definitely message you tomorrow, once I've spoken to him.  Take care x

Big sympathy to you Jo. I am very sorry though with no practical help to offer except to suggest to contact one of these maybe

Apologise for the spelling mistakes I was voice texting and was in tears while texting this reading it back there is quite a lot of vocabulary mistakes so I hope you understand also due to the injury what I received I can't no longer talk eat properly I received quite a few punches then a direct forceful punch with a knuckle duster to my face lower jaw which got shattered including the gum tissue and nerves so voice texting words come out different apologies for my errors

Maybe buy some porridge to eat and heat it with milk, butter and honey. It is  easy, healthy and delicious to eat when you are feeling both physically and mentally delicate. But then call the social-worker again. It is their JOB to help but need chasing probably.

will pm you
