A mum who was made homeless earlier this year claims she's received "disgusting" treatment in her search for a council house.
Natalie Pinch, 30, from Wallasey, was issued a section 21 notice by her private landlord in March this year. The mum-of-one claims she contacted Wirral Council's housing options team straight away, but was told she would have to wait unil she was served an eviction notice before the council could act.
When she received the notice in June, Natalie alleges she passed the information on to the council, but was simply told "someone would be in touch". Natalie, who lives with her mum and eight-year-old daugter, says she wasn't contacted by a housing officer until a week before she was due to be evicted.
