Lanarkshire mum 'forced to send kids away' after asbestos and dampness found in council house

A disabled single mum from North Lanarkshire has been forced to send her kids to live somewhere else after the council house they were allocated was found to be full of asbestos and dampness.

Cheryl Kerr and her two kids were homed in a property on Uig Way, Shotts, by North Lanarkshire Council, which Cheryl claims is 'unsafe' for the family to live in.

Cheryl's 16-year-old son and her eight-year-old daughter are currently living with their grandparents for their own safety. The 41-year-old suffers from fibromyalgia and was homeless for two and a half years before the council offered up a home.
