Since I found out I was pergnant, Adam & I have been looking into moving because the place we live now is not suitabale for me at the moment, let alone when I am heavily pregnant or have a newborn.

We can't afford to rent a bungalow privately so we are trying to get a property through the local council. Despite the fact that my house has steps into pretty much every room and only 1 bathroom - upstairs, is not wheelchair accesible and making life hard I have been given the lowest priority for re-housing. And though they have classed me as having high mobility needs, the only property that they will allow me to apply for is a 2nd floor flat in a block with no lift, that doesn't allow young families!

I am feeling frustrated. Does anyone have any experience with UK council housing? How can I move this along?

You could try making a stink and going to the local paper. They hate bad press. Maybe you could move to a different location.

Thanks. am thinking about trying paper or local MP. Moving not really an option cos that would take us out of region.

Best of luck with the housing issues. This kind of thing makes no sense to me.

On an off topic note, I am in CA for my follow up for the CCSVI procedure I had and we were in a food market and I saw PIMMS for the first time and I thought about you!!
