I am having doubts as to whether this house is going to be suitable for daughter and boyfriend. It is about 4 miles away along country lanes and there is no shop, nothing really. Once her boyfriend goes back to work (furloughed) the days are going to be so long for her. I looked at the bus timetables and there is one bus out of the village at 6.40 am returning about 6pm and it goes to the city so she can’t even catch a bus to the nearest small town.
The other thing is We have discovered there is hardly any mobile phone signal there so if she needs us that’s another problem.
I wonder what people’s thoughts are. Should they accept and then put in for an exchange in the future? If we decline it altogether do we get kind of blacklisted?
We live in a large village with several shops, pub, much better bus route and of course, us close to hand should any problems arise. I did put all this in writing to the council ages ago and said that because of her special needs she must be somewhere where she is not isolated and can have some independence. I can’t see her getting any at the new place. Oh dear ... hubby and I have decided not to say anything to them until they look at the property. There were two lovely flats In our village which they have given to homeless people which would have been absolutely perfect.
