Alistair Taylor, 34, from Blackpool. // A devoted dad-of-four took his own life after "relentless stress" was put on him by the council, an inquest heard. Alistair Taylor, 34, had run a successful barbershop in Blackpool for years - but was forced to move when the council suddenly terminated his lease in the market. Then, just a year later, he was told by the council that the authority wanted to acquire his family home under a 'Compulsory Purchase Order' to build a new education campus. That devastating blow came after he had painstakingly adapted the house to meet the needs of two of his children with disabilities.
