Reema saves Mimi - a four legged resident!

Bethnal Green Neighbourhood Housing Officer, Reema Sohun, went the extra mile last week to help a tenant re-house her pet pig, Mimi.  

As you may have seen in the East London Advertiser in recent weeks, a tenant has been sharing her flat with her now famous pet from Portugal.

It was when neighbours started to complain about the smell, noise and flies that Tower Hamlets Homes had to step in and ask that Mimi be removed.  An animal lover, Reema felt sorry for Mimi and equally as sorry for the owner, who was clearly besotted with her pet.  Reema said: "I felt really bad for Mimi.  So I got on the phone to a couple of local farms."  Reema was able to convince Mudchute Farm in Isle of Dogs to take care of Mimi. The farm isbuilding a hut specially for Mimi in preparation for her move next week.  The tenant also has full visitation rights!  Good work Reema!
