A pregant woman has been forced to "sofa surf" after a massive hole formed in the ceiling of the family home. Tristan Felton, 28, and his pregnant partner Libby were forced to move out after heavy downpours left their council flat roof damaged.
The family, from Sutton Coldfield, also have a two-year-old son and Triston said the problems started on Saturday morning (October 29) with a brown patch on the ceiling of the living room of the two-bedroom upstairs flat. The hole then appeared ten minutes later and got bigger and bigger.
Triston moved the family out after being told by workmen it could be asbestos and said the young parents had been "sofa-surfing" between their parents. He claimed Birmingham City Council had been unable to provide acceptable alternative accommodation.
