'Worst neighbour ever' says she is real victim after residents 'turned on her'

A woman branded the 'worst neighbour ever' has hit back claiming she is the real victim after she was forced to flee her home when residents 'turned on her'.

Candy MacMillan, 32, claims she was intimidated by her neighbours in the Hull community and was even left too scared to leave the house.

The mum-of-five was previously branded "nasty" by residents on Lissett Grove, who have celebrated her leaving the area after four years.

Candy, who was fined by the council for leaving rubbish in the garden, said: "They welcomed me in with open arms, but they turned on me.

"They said that my kids were tramps, but they always had baths.

"It all started when someone set my garden fence on fire and they blamed me. I wasn't even there - I was at the park with my kids.

"I'm the victim in this story - I've been assaulted and I'm scared to leave the house. What is being reported is wrong about me, it's not fair."

Candy says she was fined £920 in her absence at Hull Magistrates Court' after failing to get rid of rubbish from her back garden, reports Hull Live.

Pictures of her garden were released by the council following the court hearing.

However, Candy claims the council workers took her children's toys after mistaking them for fly-tipping.

She said: "They ended up taking the wrong stuff and took my children's toys from the garden."

As of Friday, she has now told Sanctuary Housing, which owns and manages the property, that she will be moving out within the next four weeks.

She added: "I wasn't kicked out, I've asked to leave. I've been threatened and punched and kicked - I'm the real victim here."

Candy says she is currently living with a friend and is not necessarily moving to Bransholme in the future.
