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 🧵

Very proud to say @myldn has been nominated for The Orwell Prize for Reporting Homelessness for our project Rough. We knew it was an amazing piece of work so it's great to have it recognised. Well done to everyone involved

This is when local news really makes a difference. A deaf mum living in a dangerous and mice-infested flat has been begging to be moved but felt she was being ignored because of her disability. After we ran a story, her family is finally in a suitable and safe home

Leaseholders in #Bermondsey can’t sell their homes because of Southwark Council’s delay in issuing fire safety forms that buyers require to get a mortgage.
Local Lib Dem councillor @RachelBentleyNB branded the delays in issuing the forms a ‘scandal.’

Bethnal Green Weightlifting Club could shut this month as Tower Hamlets Council has issued an eviction notice. It could mean the end of what's claimed to be London's oldest powerlifting club. @myldn is calling on the council to reconsider, or relocate it mylondon.news/news/east-lond…

It's a Christmas miracle! After @myldn's campaign helped publicise the threat of closure, someone anonymously donated £28,500 to Grow Wild in Walthamstow to meet its target and secure its future as an outdoor play space where kids can connect with nature mylondon.news/news/east-lond…

After months of work, @myldn has launched its homelessness project. It’s an incredible piece of storytelling by our team who’ve visited encampments, sat in people’s tents and witnessed the violence and risks rough sleepers face daily. Please check it out

Police have today released CCTV images of a suspect they are looking for following the attack which took place three months ago.
The suspect was last seen getting off the Elizabeth Line at Whitechapel on the night of this assault (August 19).

Tom was walking his dog in Stratford when he was suddenly set upon and stabbed almost 20 times in an unprovoked attack.
Tom's injuries have affected his ability to walk, his vision, he can’t taste/smell and has lost feeling in parts of his body.
