I live in a small village ive just been given a place at the village school which was my first choice she didnt get a school at start of September. Problem is i need a bigger home as very overcrowded im due to have new edition to family ive asked my housing for help which told me to try swap/exchange. Pointless as theres only 1 house but she wants to move out of area its quite rural if u dont drive. I have 1 other option move to another area to stand a chance ive been given band b 3 bed priority but theres no bloody houses you are allowed to bid on 3 each week but theres none. I really dont know what to do i feel stuck catch 22 as its such a lovely area compared to the last which was awful i love this country life but it feels as though you can't have it unless you can afford it.

How overcrowded are you? Have you looked at private rentals?

Ive got a girl and boy sharing in a small room then twins on the way can't afford private rented in the area your talking around £700-800 and housing benefit only would pay 500 so definitely no.

There are single people in 3 bedroom houses that dont need them but will not downsize its a joke.
