Just when you thought all the housing cut backs and Government purse-string tightening was spelling the end of hope as we know it, in comes a nice wedge of support. £2m to be exact and it’s what homeowners in North East Lincolnshire have been pledged to help them avoid repossession and keep their homes.
North Lincolnshire is a repossession hotspot with figures showing that last year; one family lost their home every day between July and September. In total, 110 repossession orders were issued during that time, so the overdue and much needed cash injection will go towards the Council’s Preventing Repossessions Fund.
