High profile tenant rights activist Inez Ward will be evicted from her Enterprise Inns pub on Thursday next week (9 July).
But she has vowed to be back running a pub by the end of the year and has already received several offers.
Ward, who was declared bankrupt in May, had her re-payment plan for rent arrears at Mavericks in Newquay and legal costs following an unsuccessful harassment claim turned down this morning.
The pub has been closed since 20 March after the electircity was cut off over her failure to pay an £11,500 bill.
“I am absolutely gutted to lose the pub — not just for us but for the community who had worked so hard to get it back open,” said Ward, who organised the pubco protest march in January. “I know we could have paid the money back over the busy summer period.
“At the moment I have nowhere to stay. I will be completely homeless.”

Inez Ward evicted from Enterprise pub Well after the barrage of unjustified attack down to earth with a bang, in fact I've probably just broke through the crust. I have never felt so low. Congratulations Carpe! As of Thursday my family will be homeless, the council have no houses, the private sector is not looking good, so cardboard city here we come. Twenty years of our life gone, the house, the belongings, the life insurances, the pensions, the savings, health severely affected, absolutely everything gone and we're one of the lucky ones because at least we have a network of support that many others don't, friends and tenants who are there for a shoulder to lean on. My family don't deserve this, they have worked hard and given their all, me suffering I can take them suffering I can't. This scenario is happening and has been happening for countless years to countless families, what is it going to take for there to be change? This post replies to this thread |
