EXCLUSIVE: Bryn and Leigh Davies and their four children, aged between 12 and 21, had been living in a bungalow next to a school in Hoddesdon, Herts, but claim they were evicted and given just an hour to pack up essentials
A family-of-six say they have been split up and made homeless after they were "unlawfully evicted" from their council home of 17 years.
Stay-at-home mum Mrs Davies told Mirror Online that the family moved into the three-bedroom bungalow at the now-defunct Sheredes Senior School in Hoddesdon, Herts, in January 2003 when her husband was hired. At the High Court, the Davies argued that they should be allowed to stay in the home and the council had failed to consider the welfare of their children, who were raised in the bungalow.
Mrs Davies claims the family had no idea they were being evicted until enforcement officers knocked on her door on February 3. They have launched a new challenge, arguing they were deprived of their legal right to seek a stay, and a hearing is due to take place on March 2. Mrs Davies said: "The most distressing thing is I'm not with all of my children. There's no room for all of us."In my room there there's a wardrobe with no hanging rail, a microwave, a washing machine and dryer, a fridge, a two-wing hob and a tiny bathroom.
