Mum forced to live apart from children in 'inhumane' council house arrangement

A mum-of-six has slammed the council after being forced to live apart from two of her children on either side of busy dual carriageway. Rebecca Fenner has described her family's housing situation as 'ridiculous and inhumane', Birmingham Live reports.

The 33-year-old lives with her four children, aged nine, seven and one-year-old twins boys, in a one-bedroom property on the A45 Coventry Road, in Yardley. On the other side of the road, her husband is in another one-bedroom home with their daughters aged 12 and 15.

Rebecca has pleaded with the council to provide them with one self-contained property without shared facilities. However, the mum says she has 'hit a brick wall' and that the family have now been stuck in with the two property arrangement for four months.
