Leeds family of five forced to live all in one room after being evicted

A Leeds family of five have been forced to live all in one room after being evicted from the home they'd known for more than a decade.

The Nolan family had spent 11 years living in Middleton when their landlord decided to sell their home. The Nolans depend on disability benefits after dad Craig developed sepsis in 2016 - and found they couldn't afford any private rents.

With the council waiting list so long, the family were placed into temporary accommodation by Leeds City Council on January 20 until somewhere could be found for them. The accommodation has seen the whole family living in a single room since then, with no cooking or laundry facilities.
