Eviction protest sees show of community support for tenant
Lancashire Evening Post
|May 17, 2025
More than 20 people have stood in solidarity outside a house in Preston to halt an eviction.
The tenant-who asked to be known only as Miguel - said he had received letters telling him he was going to be removed from his property in Broadgate.
Fearing he was going to kicked out on yesterday members of community union Acorn turned out to support the 39-year-old.
Miguel said: “I’m very thankfully for all of these people turning out. I'm lost for words. I am so thankful for Acorn and everyone who has come to help me.”
Miguel said he was facing eviction because he was unable to work due to anxiety and depression – and he had difficulty obtaining a copy of his rental agreement.
