As a parent in a 2 bedroomed flat with three kids i would like people to help me with my petiton to get council tenants who dont pay rent made to move out of homes in which there is under occupancy.i would also like to try to get people with kids out of flats as kids need a house they can get out in the garden etc in the nice weather + get the council to build more houses mainly for families but also for single people too.i really hope you can help me as 2/3 bedroomed houses are in high demand but single people are liing in them all which isnt fair on the people waiting years.im not only doing this for myself im doing it to help everyone on the list with kids as i understand how much a battle it is and wears you down..please sign this and give your support

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained lately. This movement belongs entirely to the families who stepped up to tell their own stories.

Been on the list for 4 years now. Families are struggling while big houses sit empty with just one person inside. Ridiculous.

Its not right that my kids have to stay inside all summer while someone on their own has a whole house and garden to themselves. Something has to change.
