A mother-of-three says she, her family and her dog, had to leave their home after police knocked on their door in the early hours of the morning.
Emma says her three children, aged four, 10 and 12, were luckily enough to go to her parents’ house.
“We took enough clothes for two days, grabbed medicines and the dog,” she explains.
“That was it. I just wanted to get out just in case because it was early in the morning and very unsettling.
“My youngest was very confused and quite scared actually despite reassurances it will be ok.”
She says there is no time frame in terms of a plan but appreciates the teams are doing the “best they can” and praises the communication from her housing association, Plymouth Community Homes.
