Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I have been housed in disgusting temporary accommodation that is unsafe , dirty and extremely dangerous! People complained constantly, reporting electric shocks, broken windows , the dirt , cookers are dangerous too, BUT estate mangers WALTHAM ESTATES and REDBRIDGE COUNCIL didn't care basically .
I have reported it to council , fire brigade, and local papers I was in the ilford and redbridge local papers on 6 th April , I have got evidence of attempted blackmail and the fact they now moved me to Hounslow which they put me any further away ! Please help us fight this , I know there is a housing crisis but it doesn't mean the places they have need to be disgusting and we are human beings too !!! Just because we are on benefit we get treated like scum ! It's not fair !!!! Please help !!
