I think it is true that many of the families from the time when the eviction notice was first obtained 2003 in the street were in fact offered rehousing and accepted. I would like to hear from them...

Other families held out until later but where also rehoused. The people who were not offered rehousing were those who had squatted the houses made empty as families were rehooused (in the main) If any one could confirm or detial this...


I left St Agnes Place around 1995. Szczels 15:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that's more or less right, although there were people who were not rehoused who'd lived there since the 80's and 90's right up until the eviction. I was there for only three or so months before the final eviction and wrote the section on the legal case. It'd be good to get this page expanded - I know nothing about what happened there in the 80's and 90's. Alex

Black Information Link claims that the residents were given a lease from 1984 to 2000. Secretlondon 03:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

In the 80's many houses had short stay agreements with the council whereby they'd arrange housing benefit to be spent on maintaining the property. Alex10101000 05:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What?

  • I think the line saying they were not parasites should be rewritten or dropped, leaving only that they paid their bills. Also needs spaces and better grammar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.156.208.3 (talk) 04:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Absolutely right and removed. The line merely suggested they might be parasites, SqueakBox 04:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
