This is the Council home I grew up in. Safety & security, a foundation to grow & a community where we looked out for one another. If we didn't have this, who knows what life would have looked like. Everybody deserves a home they can call their own. #100yearsofcouncilhousing

I grew up in council housing, my parents and grandparents all lived & continue to live in council housing. I worry this Government will further decimate and stigmatise but building new council homes on a large scale can help resolve the housing crisis. #100yearsofcouncilhousing

My sisters & I were raised in council housing. We’ve experienced hardship & tough times but had a solid start in life, a mum who believed wholeheartedly in us & I believe it shaped & created who we are today and the opportunities we’ve had along the way #100yearsofcouncilhousing

I was born & brought up in a council house. Dad worked days, mum worked nights. This was not somewhere we rented, this was our home & it laid the foundations of my life
Now we need to fight this Govts obsession with home ownership

I’ve not got a pic of the council house I grew up in, in Tower Hill, Kirkby, but it was on a block end and had a full size football goal painted on the side wall, which was completely normal 👍 Loved it, great times there! Barbara Spicer CBE Jo Miller #100yearsofcouncilhousing
