Sweets Way victory as Barnet U-turns
Estate’s remaining families found homes

SWEETS WAY campaigners cried victory yesterday after Barnet Council was forced to find homes for the estate’s remaining families hours before bailiffs were due to throw them onto the streets.

The day had started with the children of three local families going to school in tears, afraid that they would have no home to go back to after the bell.

Andrew Grealish, Zlatka Doynova and their six-year-old son Daniel had been living in fear of eviction for the last month, without knowing whether they would get somewhere to live.
