i've got a council home, well a housing association one but i was given it through the council and it's the same as a council home basically. we lived in a council flat before this and had 2 kids in the 1 bed flat, she became pregnant for the 3rd time just as we were offered this place. the wait was about 5 years all in all. the wait time for a bigger property if i apply is like 20-30 years so no point.
