KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner Merton Council please could Colin & Michael respond to my email asap, today. Thank you.

KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner Absolutely appalling! I do hope the Local Authority see sense.

KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner This intentionally homeless rule needs looking at. Rarely ever is anyone making themselves “intentionally homeless” without good reason. Infuriating.
