Residents living on a street have all been told they must leave within weeks.
Every resident living in Lake House Close, Weaverham, Cheshire, received a notice from their non-profit landlord serving them with a 'no-fault' eviction notice, CheshireLive reports. They have reportedly been told they have to vacate their homes within two months.

Alison, former landlady of the Ring O' Bells, Weaverham, added: "We both have bad hearts, and this could just push my mum too far."
Alan, 88, moved to Lake House Close from Manchester aged 81 to be nearer his son after experiencing health problems. His son, Jonathan, 63, said: "I was there when the letter came through and - bearing in mind his health conditions - I wasn't prepared to tell him at the time. I still haven't told him because he suffers from heart failure, stage four kidney disease, he's on 13 tablets a day to keep him going.
