London Renters Union celebrates after disabled mother saved from eviction

CAMPAIGNERS were celebrating yesterday (Thurs) after the threat of eviction of a disabled mother and her family was brought to a halt.

London Renters Union (LRU) protested outside the Stratford offices of Local Space, the charitable housing association which issued the eviction. 

Cynthia fell into arrears last year after she was moved from legacy benefits onto universal credit. The mother-of-two was served an eviction notice in summer 2024.
