A woman struggling to pay her rent who was told by her council she had to move 150 miles away in order to be housed, has won her legal battle against the move.
In a last ditch attempt to stay in London, Nadia Zaman took Waltham Forest Council to court after they said the only suitable home for her was in the Potteries, Stoke on Trent.
The mum of three argued that it was legally 'incumbent' on the council to 'secure accommodation' as 'close as possible' to her home.
