A single mum and her three children have finally found a new home after being forced to live in a single Travelodge room for half a year. Charlene Pascoe, 34, and her kids - Freya, 12, Kieran, ten, and Darcy, two, were left with nowhere to go having been evicted from their rental property in March earlier this year.
From St Blazey, Cornwall, Charlene struggled to find anywhere else to live due to living in a county where some areas have up to 40% of properties used as second homes. It left the quartet with no option but to squeeze into one Travelodge hotel room for months on end while the council tried to rehome them.
Six months down the line and they have finally been able to move into a house of their own. Ocean Housing, a social and affordable housing association based in St Austell, has been able to provide the struggling family a home in the local area.
