Acorn protest at Mary Seacole Court to stop member being evicted

There was a demonstration today by the Acorn union (https://www.facebook.com/acorn.bristol) on behalf of member Khalid and his family at Mary Seacole Court on Mina Road. He was threatened with forced eviction by bailiffs. Eviction would have pushed them into emergency accommodation.

The problem arose when Bristol City Council (BCC) interpreted Khalid’s refusal to take on a specific council house in a district in South Bristol where he felt unsafe. This was seen by BCC as him insisting he be rehoused in St Werburghs, which apparently was not the case. BCC then removed his access to Home Choice.

Acorn, and Khalid, simply require that Khalid and his family have their access to Home Choice restored, so they can find a suitable council property, anywhere in North Bristol. If Mary Seacole Court then give Khalid and his family a few more months, he should be able to find suitable accommodation.
