A dad who was left severely disabled after a sudden stroke says he is facing homelessness as there is no affordable and accessible housing for him to move into.
Gary says: "I just want to be back to normal, as in working again and things like that and my mates, pubs and back to work, just general, hopefully that is the idea and I want a home." She said: "We didn't know if he would ever walk again but with the help of the physio team they got him up and moving.
