"Demi Worboys, aged 31, and her baby son have been living in Chatham for four months, after being relocated due to issues with anti-social behaviour at her former home in Bromley. Worboys, who has been bidding for a home in Bromley for two years, said she was "in fear constantly", adding: "I feel very lonely, it's just me and my son without my support network and my family...I feel like they [Bromley Council] placed me here and forgot about me.""
""They then basically threatened me with a knife and told me to get into my house," she said. Worboys said she has had anxiety and depression due to the original problems in Bromley and the move to Chatham, away from her wider family. "I can't attend scans due to my son not being allowed in...I've got no support network for someone to have him," she said."
Demi Worboys, aged 31 and pregnant, was relocated from Bromley to temporary accommodation in Chatham and has lived there for four months with her baby son. She had been bidding for a home in Bromley for two years and described feeling constantly in fear after anti-social behaviour at her former home, including eggs thrown at her door and a knife threat. She reports anxiety and depression, isolation from her support network and inability to attend scans because her son cannot accompany her. The Chatham property is described as rat-infested with clear signs of anti-social behaviour. Bromley Council said it seeks to house residents locally but cannot always do so. Medway Council noted that temporary placements from other areas significantly impact Medway.
