A disabled mum faces having to sleep in her car with her daughter after they were kicked out of council accommodation. Pauline Roye, 62, and NHS worker Nashstacia Gayle, 28, asked to leave temporary accommodation in Catford, London, because mould in the bedrooms was causing Pauline breathing problems, meaning she had to sleep in the kitchen.
Lewisham Council offered them another temporary home in Ilford, East London - but because it is an hour away from the borough on public transport and Pauline would struggle to get to and from hospital appointments in South London as she awaits a knee replacement, she rejected the offer, MyLondon reports.
The council said that because Pauline had rejected a "reasonable" offer, it would no longer take any responsibility to house them. While Lewisham Council has now said it will review her case and will look to make a new offer of temporary accommodation - but until that happens, Pauline and Nashstacia have no idea where they will be sleeping every night and face having to stay in their car.
