Desperate family stuck in two-bed home after council refuses to let them swap

A family-of-four with a disabled daughter sleeping in the same room as her parents claim they are "stuck" in a cramped two-bedroom house after being refused a home swap with another social housing tenant.

Desperate Andrew Vincent claims Lincolnshire Housing Partnership is not allowing them to formally swap homes with a couple who live nearby in Grimbsy.

The couple has a three-bedroom house and wish to downsize, but the council are refusing on the grounds that if they moved into the two-bed house, it would be "under-occupied" by the couple.
