A family of six are living in a tent at the bottom of a friend's garden after being refused a council house because they would not abandon their pets. Lorraine Botton, 54, and her five children moved from East Sussex to Kent with the promise of a new home, but got in a row over their four dogs and three budgies. They claim they were told to give them away if they wanted a council property, so turned the house down. Lorraine is squeezed inside the 12ft by 10ft tent - designed to sleep four - with children Moses, 18, Caleb, 19, Genty, 22, Louise, 26, and Naomi, 36 - as well as their pets. It has two sleeping compartment designed for two adults in each and a central communal area. |
