A pensioner is facing eviction from the home he has lived in for 67 years in a fresh battle with a local council. Ken May, 68, has received a third notice for eviction after previous court battles in 2022 and 2019.
Gateshead Council has been at loggerheads with the homeowner who grew up in the house he still resides in. The conditions and safety of May's home has been put in question as he could be made the leave the Wardley council house he has lived in since November 1955 as early as next week, reports ChronicleLive.
A court order last year allowed the pensioner to stay as long as he reconnected his home to the power grid after using a petrol generator previously. He had to permit council workers to repair and rewire his home over eight weeks as he was put in temporary accommodation.
