The Fardi family has lived on the Gascoigne estate since 2003, but says they no longer feel safe in their home.
At the end of February, Moon Fardi was at home with his 17 -year -old son when he said that a suspended thief tried to enter unlocking the front through the mailbox.
Terrified, he called his daughter who contacted the police. The family states that the officers attended the scene, but that no investigation was launched.
Last week, Moon, a tenant of the Council, told this article That he still has nightmares in which he sees a hand grabbing his mailbox.
Fearing for his safety, he moved to the floor of a relative in Hammersmith with his teenage son, where they both sleep in the living room. Her husband, Sallah, remains in Barking.
His son now has to travel more than an hour and a half to attend the university in Essex.
The family’s offer for an emergency movement was recently rejected by Barking and Dagenham’s advice, leaving Mouna separated from her husband and uprooted on the other side of London.
His daughter Imane, who moved from the family home a few years ago, said that the residents of the Gascoigne estate feel that they have “forgotten” in the midst of a broader regeneration of the area.
The Urban Regeneration Company of Barking and Dagenham, Be First, supervises the real estate renewal, which will see the blocks of the 1960s demolished in phases and replaced by new floors.

The Fardi family block, Dovehouse Mead, is intended for demolition, but the neighbors have not yet been told when this will take place or when they will be relocated.
Imane said that, given the continuous uncertainty, many families living in the nine -story block had decided to move, leaving those who still live there more vulnerable to crime.
“The only reason why criminals are heading to the farm is because it is more abandoned and there are only a few people living there,” he said.

She felt that the oldest parts of the farm have been “careless”, saying that the floss tip of the nearby construction sites is.

“As soon as the council knew that they will demolish the blocks, they forgot their obligation to maintain the properties,” said Imane.
“The stairs stink, there is a shocking humidity and the lamppings do not work.
“They have neglected the farm, it is my family that feels forgotten.
“The Council is more focused on building new and brilliant constructions than the real care of residents who have lived here for more than 20 years like my mother, people who have built this community.”

Barking and Dagenham Council have said that a panel of housing managers reviewed the family emergency movement request, but did not find clear evidence of a continuous threat to their safety.
The local authority said that there had been an appeal on the being of the family and that there would be a formal response in due time.
A spokesman said the Council records show that six floors in the Fardi family block remain occupied.
“While recent steam or mold reports were raised during the previous evaluations, we take such concerns seriously and we are investigating this matter beyond,” they added.
“Additional Conerns on street lighting and the construction site have registered and climbing for monitoring actions.”
The Council said that he had first been trying to move families in a way that guarantees that the blocks do not stay with just a few occupants.
The Metropolitan Police did not respond after more details were asked about the alleged attempted robbery at the Fardi family house.
