Homeless family were put up in hotel room in Manchester, meaning he had to be driven from there each day
A 10-year-old boy was forced to take a 170-mile round trip to school every day after his homeless family was put up in a hotel room in a different city because of a lack of suitable housing locally.
Campaigners say the boy, who had to be driven by his parents from a Manchester Travelodge to his primary school in Birmingham for two months, was the victim of a chronic shortage of social housing in the West Midlands city.
