Council forces elderly man out of home
81-year-old sectioned and removed following fights with council over eviction

Lambeth Council have been threatening to sell Tony Healy’s Victorian terrace on Clapham’s Rectory Grove for over a year.

Mr Healy was one of the last remaining residents in the street, refusing to leave the home he had lived in for over 30 years and renovated at own expense.
