Reinstate Arleen Matthews and drop and disciplinary action against her.

Reinstate Arleen Matthews and drop and disciplanary action against her.

Why is this important?

Arleen Matthews and her son son Kishur found themselves homeless when they fell behind with the rent and were evicted.
In desperation they started sleeping rough in a garage on one of the estates that she managed in her job for "Homes for Haringey". On the council hearing this they suspended her and now facing disciplinary action.

The action Homes for Haringey has taken shows a lack of compassion and is contrary to their statement "We want to prevent homelessness whenever possible".

Being homeless and then to lose her job must be a devastating and all this a few days away from Xmas.
