House Heartbreak For Couple!!!
 

I have just been reading an article in a magazine about a couple who were paid £10,000 compensation in 2004 for their home in Salford when they had to move due to regeneration. The houses have now been refurbished and their old home is valued at £78,000. This couple had to get a mortgage of £25,000 to buy their new home, I feel that they should receive more compensation after all as they say it wasn't just a house it was their home and they wouldn't have moved if they had known the houses were going to stay. How do councils get away with treating people like this?:mad:

I dont know how the councils get away with it either, think thats disgusting, must admit I've never heard of that before usually the houses are knocked down.
