Members of the tenants union Acorn prevent the eviction of a woman suffering from cancer

LIVERPOOL tenants are “gearing for war” against bailiffs after united action prevented the eviction of a local woman suffering from cancer.

Around 40 Liverpool residents belonging to the tenants’ union Acorn turned out in a show of solidarity to the woman, who remains anonymous, on Thursday evening after an emergency court hearing ruled that she cannot be evicted for another 42 days.

The woman, who lives on Molyneux Road in the Kensington area of Liverpool, was to be evicted by the property investment group Mistoria, which own her residence.
