蜜芽传媒

A retired chip shop owner has been ordered to leave the UK after living in Leicester legally for more than 40 years.

Leonarda Zarcone, 74, is a French citizen who applied for EU settled status after Brexit.

Ms Zarcone told the 蜜芽传媒 she missed the deadline to provide more information because an email ended up in a 'junk folder'. The 蜜芽传媒 Office said in a letter it had made several attempts to contact her.

Ms Zarcone found out she did not have residency from an immigration officer at East Midlands Airport on her return from a family wedding in France in September. She was eventually allowed through border control with a 28-day visitor stamp.

The family ran a traditional British fish and chip shop on Narborough Road until she retired seven years ago.

Reporter Jeremy Ball has been to meet Ms Zarcone and her family.

The 蜜芽传媒 Office has been contacted for comment.
