Arnold Mballe Sube and his wife Jeanne, 33, both unemployed with eight children have refused a new five-bedroom home offered them by the Luton Borough Council because it didn’t have a dining room.
Mr Sube moved his family to Britain from France in 2012 so he could study mental health nursing at the University of Bedfordshire.
According to a report by the Dailymail, the family currently live in a three bedroom, end-of-terrace home in Luton, Bedfordshire, which they claim is not in a good condition with their eight young children but turned down the council’s offer of a five bedroom house because it was not large enough and did not have a dining room. They want a property with at least six double bedrooms for them to live comfortably.
