Being asked to leave by a friend or family member?

The Housing Options Service may be able to help you remain in the property by negotiating with your friends or family members. We may arrange for an officer to speak with your friends or family about remaining there short term, whilst we work with you to find somewhere else to live.

If you are worried that it may be unsafe for you to remain living with your partner following a relationship breakdown or believe that you may be experiencing domestic violence or abuse, please contact us now by calling 01274 435999.

If you face threats of violence contact the police on 101. If the crime is happening now, call 999.
