The British pensioner couple saw their home in Vera, Almería, demolished by the authorities just over two years ago

After two years living in the garage next to the remains of demolished home in Vera, Almería, British Couple Helen and Len Prior have been ordered to be given a temporary home by a judge’s order.

Lawyers acting for the couple are claiming compensation from the local council for the loss of their home and also applied for ‘provisional measures’ to house them in a similar property to the one they lost, and it is these measures which the judge has ordered be met. The local council now has to find them a similar property or pay the rent on another one while the case is completed.

AUAN, Abusos Urbanisticos Almanzora No, the protest group acting against the demolition of property in the area, reports that Helen and Len have found a suitable property, and are waiting for the council to agree.
