Kingston Council’s new affordable homes programme is likely to be delayed after a case to evict property guardians living in one of the key redevelopment sites at Roupell House was adjourned for a year. In recent months some residents have been fighting attempts to evict them from the housing block, arguing that coronavirus and financial pressures mean it is unreasonable for them to move. Colin Hinkson, a teacher, has lived at Roupell House for four years and is fighting his eviction. He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that he was “very relieved” by this week’s decision. “Everybody’s situation is very pressing at the moment in regards to the Covid-19 situation, and there was a lot of angst and worry about being evicted during this time, which is obviously a very unusual time,” he said.
