The family of an unemployed mother-of-11 is so large that the council is building an "eco mansion” for them.

Heather Frost, 36, is having a six-bedroom home specially built for her children – by the local council.

At present Ms Frost has “struggled along” for five years in two houses knocked together for her in Gloucestershire.

But her demands for a bigger house are finally being met.

The local authority, Tewkesbury Borough Council, has sold a plot of land to Severn Vale Housing for around £210,000 who will build the super-council house.

Ms Frost has hit back at people who criticise her for having 11 children.
