Default Bedroom tax proof house

'An innovative housing development that could help people avoid the so-called "bedroom tax" has been shortlisted for an award.
North Kesteven District Council built 13 homes in Ruskington, Lincolnshire, with moveable internal walls.
It means the number of bedrooms can be easily altered from one to two to avoid losing housing benefit.
The project is shortlisted in the outstanding development category of the UK Housing Awards.
In each of the homes, built last year, the main bedroom has several electrical fittings and two windows allowing for a partition wall to be easily installed or removed.
Michael Gadd, property services manager, said: "It does mean that no-one can be penalised for having a spare bedroom that's not being used.'


Amazing! Well done Lincolnshire council
