Enfield Council is set to approve plans to set up a new
housing company in an attempt to bring its temporary accommodation bill under
control. Councillors will discuss proposals, which would see the council buying

have led to their homelessness in the first place. The goal is to then work
with the families to find a more permanent and long-term home. Read more on
