Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A powerful, eye-opening account of life on the frontlines of Britain's broken social housing system - told by Joe Carpenter, who has spent over a decade inside it.In Middle Ground: A Frontline Journey In Social Housing, Joe Carpenter draws on 13 years and over 14,000 repairs to expose the human cost of a system in collapse. From leaking ceilings and mould-covered walls to evictions, neglect, and dangerous repairs left undone, this gripping memoir pulls back the curtain on the crisis facing thousands of UK tenants, and the workers sent to fix it.Behind every repair ticket, Carpenter found something bigger: broken systems, silenced voices, and families abandoned by bureaucracy. He shares stories rarely heard outside frontline workers - from securing homes overtaken by gangs, to working in a block where a tenant's body was left unnoticed for over two years.Middle Ground is part memoir, part expose, and part call to action. It explores the human cost of policies driven by KPIs, call centres, and distant decision-makers. Drawing on landmark housing tragedies as well as everyday failures that rarely make headlines, this book reveals the urgent need for change.But it's not just about failure. Carpenter celebrates the tenants, tradespeople, and frontline staff who still believe in the promise of safe, decent, affordable homes - and offers a blueprint for rebuilding the system from the ground up.If you've ever lived in social housing, worked on the frontline, or wondered how things got this bad - this book is for you.
