A couple told to leave their home in two days by the local council have ignored their eviction notice - and instead taken in Ukrainian cats.
David and Karen Yates' family have tended the land at Earls Farm in Hardwood for more than 300 years, with David taking over the tenancy when his father, William, died in 1995.
The pair have not been paying any rent since 2007, after they say they were promised a new tenancy contract from Bolton Council which never materialised, Manchester Evening News reported.
