Dad-of-26 children to get £1,000 compensation after council failed to find him a bigger house
Can this happen in Nigeria?
According to Mirror, UK, a dad who has fathered 26 children by 15 different women is set to land a £1,000 compensation because his local council can’t give him a bigger house.
Pensioner, Peter Rolfe, 64, has been living in a cramped house on the Isle of Wight with seven of his children for three years. He suffers from arthritis, diabetes and only one of his eyes functions.
The Local Government Ombudsman has ruled Isle of Wight Council has failed in being able to find him a bigger house for his family to live in.
Councillors will now meet to decide whether to pay him £1,000 compensation, having previously said they would only give him £250.
Peter Rolfe said: “My kids are suffering because they’ve got no space. The council is not doing enough to find us another house, even though the ombudsman said it was in the wrong.
“£1000 would help immensely, any money is a help.”
