A couple with three children and another one on the way, living in a one-bed flat, say they need to move.

Phil Woolnough, 30, says he and his partner Louise Blackston, 27, are squashed into the tiny flat in Rayners Court, Northfleet.

As well as children Bradley, eight, Alfie, four, and Bryony, seven months, another baby is expected by the end of June.

Louise said: "We all have to sleep in one bedroom. It’s not fair on the children.

"I had Bryony in June 2012 so now in our bedroom there is one double bed, one cot and a set of bunk beds and a single cabinet and bedside cabinet to put our clothing in.

"At the end of June, I’ve got to try to fit another cot in the bedroom.

"When it’s the kid’s bedtime, one of the boys always wakes the baby up so she can’t settle into a routine."

Louise has lived in the flat since August 2004, when she was expecting her first son from a previous relationship.

Alfie followed in July 2008, and Louise, who became a single parent in March 2009, said: "I’ve been bidding on other flats since September 2011 and I have only been given 20 housing points, but 20 points doesn’t get me anywhere because my two boys at least need a room to share.

"I would like the council to treat everyone fairly.

"It would be nice for my children not to have to share a room with myself and my partner."

She added: "Me being pregnant again was a complete accident but on the other hand just because the council cant treat people fairly don’t mean you have to put your life on hold and can’t have any children.

"Apart from that my eldest son who is eight should have his own room even if he has to share with his brother.

"They should not be in the same room as their mum and her partner who is also not their father."

A spokesman for Gravesham council said: "The council’s policy is not to discuss personal details of our tenants in the media.

"In this instance, our tenant at this flat has specifically asked that we do not reveal or discuss her circumstances."
