After years of austerity and denial under a new Reform UK council, a failing Send service was pushed into the spotlight by staff, unions and parents — culminating in a £1.3m funding boost and a 50% increase in front-line workers. MARTIN PORTER explains
IN March, my landlord of 10 years informed me that he wanted to sell his house and that because I had been a “good” tenant, he would need to serve me with a section 21 so-called “no fault” eviction, giving me just two months to find a new home.
As I have serious disabilities, including spinal cord damage, and rely on a care package to meet my daily needs, I knew finding a home that was both accessible and affordable in the same borough would be extremely difficult.
I started to look at both private properties and those on the council website, but immediately found barriers to getting a new home. The first month passed, leaving just one month left.
