Caravan in Council House

[andyroo]

Council house (four beds) a few houses down from me, currently housing two parents and three children, has just had their eldest son, his girlfriend and baby return. They've gone and got themselves a caravan and plonked it on their drive, hung a cable out the kitchen window, and now the returned son is living in it. Is this allowed?

[Nolar Dog]

No.

I would have a word with the council if it is of concern.

I would suggest they will be moving said caravan shortly.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Yeah you can have a caravan

The housing association who own the house might have issue with it though.

Might give Moat Housing a bell. Not that they've ever been any use before. The son is a nasty piece of work though, so I'll need to be careful about it. He squared up to my neighbour (who backed down) because my neighbour asked him not to park in front of his house, where he normally parks. In retaliation, and even with his gf and child in the car, he skids his BMW right up to the guys fence every time he (still) parks there.

God I want to move.

I thought CVM was away on duty?




Set it on fire, preferably with him in it (not CVM, the tosser down the road).

The terraced housing makes that a dangerous idea, being part of it! Although, that didn't stop the woman a few streets over from trying to commit suicide by leaving the gas on and blowing herself up...

Homes, Gardens and DIY!? Surely this should be in Legal if anything...

I suppose it's cheaper than the tax payer paying for another council house.

, they rented that out as it had 5 bedrooms .

Certainly can have a caravan as long as it not self sufficient and is purely for family members , ie not rented out , they would just have to demonstrate that they use the kitchen and or bathroom facilities in the main house .

The council may have some restrictive conditions so that will probably be where the caravan fails to comply
