Family of seven in plea for new home as three-bed house having 'detrimental' effect on all

A family of seven says their home is so small there is no room for the children to do their homework. Corroll Pereira and his wife have five sons but live in a three bedroom house.

And while they say a "normal" family might cope in the tight surroundings it is much harder for them as many of them have additional needs. Corrall explained how he is a full-time carer for his wife who has epilepsy and an anxiety disorder.

He also has had a number of operations for hernias. He told MyLondon how his other children are all facing issues - James, eight, has learning difficulties, Hayden, nine, has ADHD, autism and anger issues, Thomas, 14, has ADHD and sleeping difficulties, Kayne, 16, has autism and Ashley, 19, is struggling with sleep as his bed is a mattress in the front room.
