    1 week ago | mylondon.news | Philip Lynch

    A mum-of-three says London's housing system is 'broken' after being told she's going to be evicted from the mouldy and 'unsafe' house she's lived in for four years. Shanice Aird is facing eviction from her West London home after her landlord decided they wanted the property back.

    A West London woman and her 19-year-old daughter are sofa surfing after their local council refused to rehome them unless they accepted a property 275 miles away. Soheila Serkani, 45, was told she and her daughter must move to Hartlepool after being evicted from their private rented home last month. Hillingdon Council accepted a homelessness duty towards the pair when they became homeless in March, but made only one offer of a new home, in Hartlepool, just south of Newcastle in County Durham.

  • West London high street to get new tower hotel and 320 homes - none will be affordable

    2 weeks ago | mylondon.news | Philip Lynch

    A brand new hotel and block of ‘co-living’ homes will built in West London. The Hillingdon Council planning committee gave the development the green light on Wednesday (April 9) - despite none of the homes being 'affordable'. The development will be in Uxbridge Town Centre, with Belmont Road to the north, Bankers Road to the east, and High Street to the west. It has been more than seven years in the making, but councillors only discussed it for around 40 minutes before approving it.

This marks a milestone for Hillingdon Hospital, which for years has been in limbo. The previous government included the hospital in its £20 billion pledge to build 40 'new' hospitals - however this never materialised.
