Meet 2pm on Saturday 7 February outside Alexandra Court Hostel – corner of 67 Stoke Newington Road and Belgrade Road (N16 8AH).

Hackney Council has disrespected their temporary accommodation tenants. They have to put up with:

- Homes so unsuitable some residents cannot even leave their room
- Rents of up to £350 a week
- Dirty communal areas
- Overcrowded living conditions, for years on end.
- Some residents have been without heating and hot water for six months while others have lost water supply to their rooms.
- Mice and other infestations.

Nearly 7,000 families in London live in temporary accomodation such as this. They are London's hidden homeless; most often young families. Stays are often lengthy; one family in Alexandra Court has been living there for two years.
After several letters and delegations of residents complaining to local councilor Rita Krishna and the Temporary Accommodation services management little has changed. Join with temporary accommodation residents this Saturday to demand good housing for all!
