Bray council tenants fight back

Anger over Council eviction threat

An entire housing estate in Bray is up in arms over Bray councils threat to evict residents over what the council claim as: "complaints regarding rats and people dumping rubbish in gardens".

Residents recently received letters warning their houses would be subjected to a series of checks and threatening to evict residents over what the council claimed are: "complaints regarding rats and people dumping rubbish in gardens".
Catherine Kennedy, who is a member of the SWP along with other residents of Old Court Estate in Bray, who have been fighting a long battle against Bray council over Bin charges and the privatisiation of the bin service said that: "They (the council) have this attitude that we don't deserve any respect...the council either withdraws the letter or we will go on rent strike".
