Just needing some advice

chlo99

I have a 4 year old Autistic little girl we are currently living in a 2 bed flat. I am trying to move to a 2 bed house but can't find any private ones and my council band is only c.

my little girls bed is currently in my bedroom as her bedroom has a lot of damp and cracks in the walls. I have been on at the council for a while to come and do repairs but have been unsuccessful. I am wanting to know what is the best way of trying to get rehoused. As this flat is not fit for her anymore. 

any advice would be great 

thank you x

    You could try explaining to a GP or specialist why this is unsafe for your daughter and you need to either be rehoused or have a repair.

    I were the victim of a hate crime once and the police got housing services to prioritize me to move out away from the trouble. A GP or specialist may be able to speak with housing or refer you to someone who can to prioritize a move if the council can't make things safe.

    As you know, they say health and safety comes first and it's a council and landlord's responsibility to make sure homes are kept in order.
