"It's horrible": Family-of-five share beds inside overcrowded Manchester flat

A mother-of-four has described how her and her children are sharing beds in an overcrowded flat.

Omosivie Eze is trying to move out of her two-bedroom apartment in Newton Heath, which she has described as “horrible” for her four children. The 35-year-old has applied for a four-bedroom house from Manchester City Council but fears she could face a long wait to be rehomed.

The family moved into the private rented property in 2018 – the only home they could afford at the time. Omosivie sleeps in one bedroom with two children while the eldest are forced to share a bed in the second room.
