Couple live in shed
This is a real sign of the times, where victims of the credit crunch are forced to live in unacceptable conditions. A couple from Hartlepool are having to live in a shed on an allotment because their house was repossessed.
The couple who have six children have seen their family split up, the children are staying with relatives, because the council have failed to provide adequate accommodation for the family.
Philip and Debbie Galloway found themselves in this position when Philip changed jobs and was not able to keep up the repayments on their mortgage. The council have offered the couple up to ten privately rented houses, but the couple say that these houses are in unacceptable conditions.
In fact, they say that the shed is much better than the houses offered to them and is rent-free too, because Philip Galloway’s father owns it.
