I'm so sorry to ask. We are desperate. The hotel IS fully booked from Saturday, and availability not good after Thursday. @RedbridgeLive wilfully and recklessly leaving us to lethal rough sleeping at this time. Hotel trying to hold rooms for us. We need whatever help we can... @RedbridgeLive ...intervention with @Redbridgelive especially after the court ruling in our favour, and enough money to book ourselves a few more nights. Being forced to move will place both Stevie and me at risk of cardiac failure because of our respective conditions. We are desperate.

@expressionessd1 @AmberRuddHR @Shelter Yes, unfortunately. Shelter made major errors of judgement, and have serious lapses in understanding of disabled people's needs. The way one of em spoke to my adult disabled daughter in particular (accusing her of acting like a child when she disagreed with him!) was appalling. @expressionessd1 @AmberRuddHR @Shelter Shelter refused to help us with our Appeal against the intentional homelessness decision; tried to force us into a dangerous journey from Cornwall into a rough sleeping situation; refused to give us key information about Redbridge's legal duties.

Well - it's my birthday today. It's also 3 weeks since we provided @RedbridgeLive with a clear list of emergency needs as disanled, homeless people, that they need to help us meet as per the Care Act. NONE have been met. @RedbridgeLive So - NO access to disabled bathing facilities suitable to our impairments, for months now. No hairwashing/drying. No support in accessing food, made increasingly impossible by disability, but also complete lack of cooking and refrigeration facilities.
