A mum claims that she was forced to sleep in her car after moving into a 'filthy' council house. Michelle Cowles alleges that she found "illegal substances" and "faeces on the floor and walls", reports Bristol Live.
The mother-of-four mutually exchanged her home a few weeks ago but claims she was horrified to see the state of her new abode upon arrival. Michelle Cowles alleges that Bristol City Council are taking no responsibility for the mess left in the property.
She said: “We were homeless for over a week because the council refused to admit they had any responsibility or liability and did absolutely nothing to help accommodate. They said I signed the house exchange paperwork so it's my fault - it's all my responsibility."
