Grieving mum 'confused' at being evicted from house she’s lived in for 52 years A grieving mum is to be evicted from her home of more than 50 years after planning permission was granted for the landlady to convert it into a children’s home.
Last September, Ms Sherlock, applied to Oldham council for a change of use for the property from a private dwelling to a residential children’s home to accommodate up to two children and two carers.
Marie Hargreaves, 71, from Fitton Hill, Oldham, has received a court approved eviction notice instigated by her landlord telling her she will be evicted from the house today.
Ms Sherlock said she has ‘the utmost empathy for Marie’, but said the court had reviewed the case thoroughly and upheld her right to regain possession of her property.
Marie, who suffers from anxiety, depression and PTSD has lived in the house for 52 years, but sold the property four years ago.
