Flintshire County Council finally backed down and confirmed Lynne is staying in her home. It is sick that it took this much public pressure to stop them from throwing a grieving widow onto the street. We forced them to do the right thing but we stay alert to ensure they …
This is a petition to Flintshire County Council housing department to stop Flintshire County Council evicting a 62 year old grandmother who was recently widowed less than a month ago! A ridiculous law which prevents a council house being passed down to a family member more than once. Alan Williams who recently passed away suddenly had been in the Council property since 1992, when he solely took over the tenancy agreement. Alan's widowed wife Lynne has recently applied to take up the tenancy agreement after Alan's sudden passing less than a month ago to be told that she may be evicted due to the house already being passed down once. This is a terrible judgement by the local authority for a woman who has already had to deal with too much heartache as the house holds many memories for the whole family. We need as many signatures as possible to try to change a decision which will cause so much heartache for this family. Please spare a couple of minutes of your time to sign this petition which could help prevent this injustice happening to a family who have already been to hell and back recently.
Flintshire County Council thinks they can toss a grieving woman out on the street without anyone noticing. We just hit 100 signatures and this is only the beginning of the fight to stop their cold-blooded bureaucracy.

Terrible decision from the council for such a poor reason. Surely morality should be a priority rather than abiding by a set of jarg rules. The Williams' are an amazing family and deserve the best.

Its her home , just because its been handed down once , you'll only have to rehouse her somewhere else . So what's the point , she might as well stay where she is , and save the council money . Rate payers money

I think it's wrong I recently had a heart attack if I would of died my 20 year old son would of been homeless . If you live there and have done for 12 months or more it's yr home you should be allowed to stay. You would only have to be rehoused some where else what's the point and less paperwork
