A man is facing losing the home he has lived in all his life just weeks after his mother's death. Shaun Wooldridge grew up in the Nottingham property and lived there with his mother, wife and stepdaughter.
But he says despite being able to prove he paid the rent and had lived there since childhood he has been told he must leave. And he says people have already been to see the house even though his mother is yet to be laid to rest, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
The former miner has been left with the heartache of losing his home because his name was not on the tenancy agreement for the council house. This means he was not a successor, according to Nottingham City Homes (NCH).
