I feel the need, through your newspaper, to air my concern on council housing.

I have, personally, been on the Council Register for more than six years, to no avail.

I was born in Honiton and have worked in Honiton for 30 years and, whilst bringing up children, and through no fault of my own, I am in rented accommodation. I cannot afford or get any help as my children have left home.

Are the residents of Honiton and EDDC aware that many of us are in dire straits, as well as young couples and individuals that are unable to buy properties and cannot afford to rent.

Why don’t we get help?
