Grieving son 'mortified' at discovering council contractors tearing his late mother's kitchen apart despite tenancy still being active
A grieving son was left 'mortified' after finding council contractors ripping out the kitchen at his late mother's home in Wednesbury, despite the tenancy still being active.
Craig McGough said Sandwell Council entered the property in Moor Street "without permission" and showed "no compassion" at a time when he was still dealing with the death of his mother Joyce Timmins.
The 64-year-old, who had lived at the property for four years, died in July, three weeks after Mr McGough got married.
He had been served a section 21 notice following her death, giving a date when the property had to be vacated, and was told to still pay rent.
But the tenancy had not finished when Mr McGough walked in on contractors replacing the kitchen and central heating system in early October.
