A family being evicted from a rented home in Cornwall have been warned by the council they could be moved 250 miles to Wales - and they should see it as “a holiday''. Mum-of-three Rae Layton, 43, was given a shock eviction notice in April and told they might have to move from Ponsanooth to Cardiff.
The notice has given Rae until July to find a new home but due to increasing rent and property prices this has proven impossible. Rae says a housing officer at Cornwall Council said despite having to leave family and friends to move to Wales she should 'look at it like a holiday'.
Rae said: "The council worker told me that my kids can look at it as a holiday. She didn't mean anything bad by it but it's just a horrible situation to be in. On the 22nd April I got an email saying she wanted us out. I get it, I get all of it.
