'My kids hate living here- they aren't coping at all'

A MUM who has lived in temporary housing for nearly two years says she and her children can’t cope any longer.

Katie Collins was put in temporary accommodation in October 2022 after her family was evicted from a private rental property under a section 21 ‘no fault eviction’.

The 36-year-old lives with her three children – aged 15, 12 and five – in a three-bedroom house on Swinton Hall Road, Swinton, Salford. She says the property is too small.

Katie says they’re living out of bags and suitcases. The prospect of having to move at short notice has meant they’ve not been able to settle.
