A mum and her three kids have a four-hour school run after a council moved them miles away from their home. Patricia Roman, 41, and her children were sent 35 miles away after asking for help when they were evicted.
The mum-of-three said she had to give up her early morning cleaning job because she couldn’t get there on time. Meanwhile, her eldest son, 15, slept over at friends’ houses while doing exams at school.
Ms Roman estimates she spends £80 per week travelling on trains and buses between Esssex and London, so that she can take her kids to school and continue studying English at college. She is now calling on Lambeth Council to find her more suitable accommodation near her former South London home, which she believes would allow her to begin working again and stop further disruption to her kids’ education, MyLondon reports.
