Thirty-nine families have been prevented from becoming homeless by Fenland District Council this year.

The households, from all across Fenland, have been helped through mediation, rent deposits, home visits with Roddons and by reconnecting them with their countries of origin.

A further 48 families - 17 from Wisbech, 13 from March, seven from Chatteris, one from Whittlesey and 10 from the other villages - will be re-homed by the council in the coming months.
