Peabody Trust accused of failing to offer tenants suitable alternative homes

Nineteen tenants living in south London estate that is being demolished say homes offered to them are unaffordable and too far away

The Peabody Trust, one of the UK's oldest and best known housing associations, has been accused of failing to rehouse 19 tenants it plans to evict to make way for a new development.

Their plight highlights an acute shortage of affordable homes for low-wage key workers amid concern that too much new building is being targeted at more lucrative markets.
