A group of residents held a protest outside a North London council’s offices demanding the local authority do more to tackle the borough’s ‘ housing crisis’.

The campaign group raised concerns about damp and mould in council properties, private rental costs and an alleged lack of enforcement action against “rogue landlords”.

Organised by Harrow Healthy Homes – a tenant-led campaign group facilitated by local charity Harrow Law Centre – the protest saw around 20 residents gather outside Harrow Council ’s offices ahead of its Cabinet meeting on Thursday.
