Me and my 3 yo are in refuge (since february) and have just been offered housing in an area I didn't list on our application. It's a 1st floor flat with no garden in a very rough area, which I know no one will ever swap for. So if I take it we are basically stuck there forever unless I give up council housing and go back to private rental at some point in the future. I'm feeling pretty desperate about it. Any words of wisdom. I feel a bit condemned :/ I could appeal, but I don't know where that would leave us. I've been up all night reading the appeal procedure, but can't think of any reason for 'unsuitability' other than I don't want us to live with alcoholics and druggies :( and send her to a school where she'll struggle to be able to study without being bullied. Am in bits really. Any advice welcome.
