'Shameful' brewery slammed for turfing family out of pub

Readers reacted with sympathy to a family who were evicted from a Merseyside pub with just a week's notice.

Gemma Maverick and husband Nathan only took over The Wellington pub in Hale Village in mid-May, and moved into the accommodation provided with three of Gemma's children. However, after 10 weeks they were told to pack their bags and move out by pub chain Marston's.

The brewery said they were forced to act because the pub's takings were significantly down. The couple said they ended up living for two days in a tent at a farmer's field near Shrewsbury, while the three children who lived with them - aged 11, 13 and 15 - were scattered around various addresses.
