A 56-year-old woman who is due to be evicted on 1 May has been told she should be able to “function reasonably well” if she ends up on the streets.

Thurrock Council wrote to Heidi Dodson rejecting her application for priority housing following an eviction notice from her landlord.

The council acknowledges Ms Dodson is eligible for help but maintained she would be able to cope if she becomes homeless and is not a “priority need”.

    It’s the lowest government that governs the cities/towns/villages and surrounding areas.

    It’s extremely complex and not at all unified, some places have two tiers of it, some dont. Urban differs from rural and the whole basically requires being a Brit to understand.

    And of course, it’s different in the different countries.

    But you can generally fill in “local city/town government” and be mostly correct.
