Non-Eviction in Nottingham. History in the Making!
‘When a grandfather fighting cancer was told he would be evicted from the home he had been paying mortgage payments for for more than 20 years, he made a short, desperate video appealing for help and put it on the internet.
Within hours, Tom Crawford’s eloquent plea detailing his fight with official ‘thugs and bullies’ had been seen by thousands on YouTube, many of whom were moved to help him keep the home where he and his wife had raised their three children.
As a result, when the bailiffs turned up to repossess the 63-year-old’s modest bungalow in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, yesterday, they were met with hundreds of strangers protesting about Mr and Mrs Crawford’s treatment.’
