We’re in an 8 storey block with one small lift which was out of order for most of Nov, & now again.
Those with mobility issues or young children are trapped - missing hospital appointments, deliveries won’t deliver.

⚠️FIRE HAZARD ⚠️
This is how the workers employed by @MetTVH leave our communal areas when they’re finished for the day.
Please help us by tweeting @MetTVH with your views on this, as THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO US....
Remember the West Hendon feature on the BBC Victoria Derbyshire show, whose children were living with cockroach infestations, & damp? Add rats to the story. Why are @barnettories tenants left to live in such squalor?
Rodents in your Children’s chest of drawers, on your kitchen sides and coming in through the cracks of an unsafe building? (Lps with gas)
This mother is one of Barnet’s unsecure tenants and still waiting to be rehoused by @BarnetHomes.
Arrears have tripled during the pandemic. Millions are in rent debt. They're terrified of losing their homes.
The govt promised no one would be homeless due to Covid. So make the eviction ban permanent @BorisJohnson!
Powerful research from @genrentuk

YMCA tried to illegally evict an LRU member. CEO promised to find alternative housing, but staff are pressuring our member to leave without a suitable offer!
Does @YMCAEng_Wales know how @YMCA_NL are treating tenants?
CEO John Baxter, will you meet with us to fix this mess?

.@YMCA_NL & @YMCAEng_Wales plan to evict a LRU member on Monday.
PLEASE RT to tell the YMCA: If you try to evict, you're breaking the law
Our member has a tenancy, YMCA has no possession order & the gov has paused evictions. YMCA know this: we emailed them (they've not replied)
We're. Not. Paying. Rent.
Because first we need to pay for food - and other essentials.
Cancel debt. Ban evictions. Together we can win. ✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿

Will keep you posted....
#EndOurCladdingScandal
How can you leave people in these conditions!!
Shame on @MetTVH
Please ask again your CEO, Geeta Nanda to accept the invitation to meet with residents. Bet she couldn’t live in the conditions that these tenants are enduring.
THREAD:
Back in 2017, in the wake of the #Grenfell tragedy our block was identified to have flammable #cladding@MetTVH said at the time: “We plan to install a new quality, modern cladding on the building ....as soon as possible.”

“The story of @Westhendonnw9 is not the story of regeneration. It is the story of a war on the poor, the destruction of a community, of public land given away for private profit. Don't be fooled. And please: don't vote for Barnet Tories, as MPs, or councillors, ever again.”
Watch @VictoriaLIVE from 10am today and support us in our fight with @BarnetCouncil and @BarnetHomes for better living conditions, a safe place to live, clarity over our futures and secure tenancies. No one should have to live like this.
Please catch up if you missed #VictoriaLIVE today:

@WestHendonNW9 on from 22 mins.
See the reality - not this airbrushed version of regeneration.
NONE of these smiling Tories were willing to appear on the program to defend the effects of their policies.
🔺WATCH VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE TODAY🔺
See the real horror & squalor faced by Barnet Councils unsecure tenants.
LEFT TO ROT 😡😓
