A family being evicted from a rented home was warned by the council they could be moved 250 miles away and they should see it as “a holiday''.
Mum-of-three Rae Layton, 43, was given a shock eviction notice in April and told she might have to move from Cornwall to Cardiff. Rae was given until July to find a new home but due to increasing rent and property prices this has proven impossible.
Rae said a housing officer at Cornwall Council told her that despite having to leave family and friends to move to Wales she should "look at it like a holiday". She 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.
