A Telford single mother left with no heating, hot water or cooking facilities for a week after a gas leak at her housing association property was told that she didn't qualify for emergency accommodation because she has too many children.

LAST COPYRIGHT SHROPSHIRE STAR STEVE LEATH 22/03/2023..Pics Telford where Mickey Jenkins and her six children are having to wash in the sink using ot water from a kettle as her boiler is broken..

"When I smelled gas last week, the first thing I did was call Cadent [gas company] before ringing Sanctuary," she said. Ms Jenkins says she asked Sanctuary for temporary accommodation until the problem was fixed but was told that it wold not be possible as she had too many children."They did say they would do that but after the weekend the housing officer came back to me and said is manager had told him it would be too difficult as I have too many children and because one of them has autism so is classed as having special needs.

The 30-year-old says she has been resorting to strip washing her children in the sink and as her cooker is 100 per cent gas she has no means of cooking meals for her family.
