This is totally disgraceful.

My daughter and her other half with a year old baby, had to go and live in a one bedroomed hostel in Sawston for a year before being considered for a council house here in Cambridge.
They both worked and paid their taxes, but had to endure being placed next door to a drug addict and also opposite an alcoholic who threatened them once with a knife through the open window. ( It didn`t happen again though!)
