Just phoned the council about me living in poor housing . council said they would work with my social landlord to get them to do the repairs(plastering walls in 3 bedrooms,treat damp in living room.)I told the council it is too late for my social landlord to do these repairs while i still live in this property cos of my copd.if they do repairs i will not not be able to breath.council said if they can not do repairs if i live their my landlord may have to rehouse me.I hope they do cos thers property that is being revamped in my area that i really want to move into.

Do hope that they will give you the house that you want, you could also tell them that your son is Autistic and that he doesnt handle change to his routine so need to stay local for his benefit. Hope they will sort it all out soon for you both, Luv Lorraine xx
