Transsexual wants out after two years of abuse
A transsexual from Egham who has suffered abuse from local youths for two years is hoping to be relocated by Runnymede Council.
Rachel Maton, 54, of Holbrook Meadow, Pooley Green, became a council tenant just over two years ago. But soon after moving in found herself the subject of consistent abuse from youths in the area.
Ms Maton has been given 28 crime numbers by Surrey Police following the incidents she has reported in the last two years, which vary from verbal abuse in the street, to having her home pelted with stones and eggs.
After a year suffering the torrents of abuse on the estate, she decided enough was enough and sought the council's help in trying to get relocated far from her troubles. But a reply by the council following her application left her downhearted.
