Family kicked out of home and put in hotels 'not being treated like humans'

A young family evicted from their home and moved to a hotel has accused the council of "abuse" and "neglect".

The mum-of-two said the young family was evicted from their housing association home but are now in a room she described as "not suitable to meet the children's basic needs". Nicole Barlow, 24, said they lost their home after the private landlord, who the housing association leased the property from, decided to sell.

The family-of-four was given just two months to vacate the property in Ellesmere Port. But Mrs Barlow, a support worker for adults with learning difficulties, said there were no other suitable council properties in the town.
