Alison Mortimer faces eviction from her home.A CARER who faces eviction after her patient was admitted to a care home has pleaded for more time.
For the last five years Alison Mortimer has been a registered live-in carer for her friend of 17 years, but when he was admitted permanently into a care home she was given notice to leave his council property in Daniell Drive, Shrub End.
Now Colchester Borough Homes have applied to evict Ms Mortimer, 58, from the home as she has not yet been able to find somewhere else to live.
A spokesman for Colchester Borough Homes, who run properties for Colchester Council, said: “As Ms Mortimer is not a tenant it is not possible for her to stay at the property because the tenancy is not transferable in these circumstances.”

“I’ve come to realise that I must consider my own needs but it’s not always that easy
“IF you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.” So said Dr Carl Sagan, American astronomer, writer and scientist. All things being equal, I prefer the more traditional Mrs Beeton approach – sourcing the ingredients is marginally more straightforward.
And what about creating the New Year? Is there an official cut-off point for desisting in wishing others a happy one? It can be tricky – colleagues arrive back at work on different dates, some acquaintances you don’t necessarily see within the first few days or even weeks of January.
The other thing about New Year is that it’s difficult to decide if everything changes or nothing really changes at all – the world looks the same but often feels very different.
