A huge new neighbourhood in West Hampstead has moved a step closer as Camden Council looks to use 'special powers' to secure vital land (makes them sound like they have Marvel characters working for them). @JSLondonLDR has the lowdown https://t.co/tXwoK9UGq6

It’s less than 200m in length today but the City of London’s Watling Street (which has a fab view of the dome of St Paul’s as you walk along it) is the last remnant of a Roman road stretching 276 miles https://t.co/SxDdaHmgCa

RT @PJLynchjourno: Another one picked up by the BBC. I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of this

RT @cblackshaw_: Great to see another story of mine picked up by the BBC. A lot of work went into this and I’m happy with how it turned out!

An East London care home's use of tech, including robot pets, to help dementia patients has been so successful they've heard non-verbal residents speak again. @RubyLGregory went down to see for herself https://t.co/yturqkFzr3

The latest community group we’re supporting through our Don’t Cut the Heart Out of London campaign. Samurai Football Academy could be forced to shut if @EalingCouncil doesn’t reverse a decision to evict them from North Acton Playing Fields

PJ Lynch @PJLynchjourno

A few weeks ago I met Hide, the director of a community based football academy in North Acton. He has claimed that despite investing £150k on the site, he is now being evicted by @EalingCouncil. Ealing Council say he hasn’t had a lease for years. 🧵⬇️ https://t.co/A6eknddy98

Mandy Goggin is partially blind. She's been asking for her flooded flat to be repaired for months. Finally it's being sorted but only if she and her 4 kids move into Travelodge with no laundry or cooking facilities with no set return date. By @benlynch07 https://t.co/Sdqz2ibvm8

This is next level. Check out all the pics in the thread

Last week, myself and @facundoarriz visited a council flat in Holborn. The tenant has been living in the space for 22 years – spending most of his time sitting on a dirty blanket with dozens of beer cans, coffee cups and pieces of soiled bedding strewn across the floor 🧵 https://t.co/Far6jqZo6r

Nice to see our investigation on Hold The Front Page. We’re calling for every council in England to have the same distance cap for temporary housing offers and an end to councils discharging their duty if a home an unreasonable distance away is refused https://t.co/3FD2hILuPV

Another strong housing story from @PJLynchjourno

BBC London @BBCLondonNews

In Karoon Islaaw's living room, mould spreads from the ground to the ceiling on almost every wall. The 67-year-old said she avoids having guests in her 24th storey Northolt council flat because she does not like people seeing the mould. https://t.co/lpnJIgCE63

This exclusive has been months in the making. Through FOIs to every London council I’ve discovered a postcode lottery when it comes to temporary housing. Some people are moved over 200 miles away, sometimes for years at a time. Refuse and you’re homeless https://t.co/CaEnzFvzJH
