I AM married with two young boys and my husband has lived in Warrington for 30 years.

We currently live in Locking Stumps with our boys attending school and nursery in the area.

We privately rent but due to the landlord selling the house we need to move.

We are on the housing list bidding on most houses we see.

Most are on the other side of Warrington which would mean changing school and nurseries and changing hours at work.

We are also looking at private renting but are struggling because we have two small dogs.

I called and emailed a few estate agents to be told there is no point in registering as nowhere really accepts dogs.

I seem to get no help from the council or the private rental sector.

We have both worked all our lives and have good, solid jobs. We have money to pay our bills and have never asked for help before.

We are even looking further away as it is cheaper to rent but again because we have two dogs we don’t seem to be able to get a house.
