Rejected petition Stop the eviction of 74 families from their homes
Residents of st Michaels gate in Peterborough are being evicted from their homes to make way for a deal done between Stef & Phillips and Peterborough council to house the homeless which are currently being housed in a travel lodge and various other hotels and b&b's.
More details
All 74 houses were originally owned and managed by a company called Akelias who earlier this year secretly sold them to Stef & Phillips who also go by the name Paul Simon homes.
3 weeks after they acquired the homes they started sending out eviction letters to everyone telling them in no uncertain terms that they had to leave by a given date.
False reasons were given until it came to light the deal they had done with Peterborough council. Families are now scared and worried and don't have money to move
