THE series returns to give us another look into the struggle of a life on benefits. In the London borough of Tower Hamlets, hundreds of families who are out of work and reliant on benefits face eviction because of the Government’s welfare reforms.
The council housing office is preparing for the crisis, as even families with children are being forced to leave the area. The only way to avoid being priced out is to find work or get a much-soughtafter council house.
But with their reduced rents and longterm tenancies proving a tempting prospect, they are in high demand. The three-part documentary follows the race to the top of the waiting list.
