A 71-year-old woman faces eviction from her home of over five decades, leaving her distressed and uncertain about her future
Oldham: It’s a tough situation for Marie Hargreaves, a 71-year-old mum who’s about to be evicted from her home after living there for over 50 years. She’s been through so much, and now she’s facing this huge change.
Marie sold her house four years ago but continued living there as a tenant. Her landlord, Jade Sherlock, got permission to turn the place into a children’s home, which led to the eviction notice. It’s all been a whirlwind for Marie, who’s dealing with anxiety and depression.
Her carer, Gary Leese, is really worried about her. He says Marie is struggling to cope with the idea of leaving the only home she’s ever known. It’s heartbreaking to see her so confused and upset, especially after losing her son last year.
Gary is trying to get a court hearing to stop the eviction, hoping to find some temporary housing for Marie. They’ve reached out to the council, but there’s no guarantee she’ll find a place nearby. It’s a real mess, and Marie deserves better.
Jade, the landlord, says she followed all the legal steps and feels for Marie, but she’s also trying to move forward with her plans. It’s a tough spot for everyone involved, and you can’t help but feel for Marie in this situation.
