Councils expel homeless from London

Government housing policies, and further cuts in April, are panicking councils in expensive parts of London into making drastic housing decisions. They are worried that they will not be able to find affordable accommodation locally for people made homeless by the policy change, and are preparing to send them elsewhere.

A report today claims that London councils are buying properties in the home counties - and beyond - and that homeless people in the boroughs will end up being shipped out. But can this be fair?
