Editorial: New flats where the children of social tenants have separate swings is a reminder of everything that is wrong with housing policy

Our report about a housing development in south London with separate play areas for richer and poorer children has, rightly, provoked fury. What was presented as a family-friendly place to live with communal play areas morphed, after planning permission had been granted, into something else: an estate on which social housing tenants are blocked by a hedge from accessing the main playground.

The first sentence in this report talks about 'richer and poorer children'. It assumes that everyone who uses social housing is poor. Social housing is not just for unemployed or poor people. In fact, the children of the 'rich' people maybe have less money in their pockets.

Rich bullies picking on the littlest of us. Makes me want to puke!

Rubbish... made me angry. Presumption of money, ability to pay the service charge, class, and decreasing self esteem . 😡
