MUM-OF-11 Heather Frost should be given her 'mansion'.

That's the view of mum-of-two Rebecca Joy who has launched a petition backing the jobless Churchdown mum's controversial move to her bigger home.

The 36-year-old's taxpayer-funded house, which she will be handed the keys to in July, has hit the headlines around the world after being revealed in The Citizen.

This online petition sprung up days after another called for her to be stripped of the house.

Charity worker Rebecca, said: "Whatever your views are on this mother's lifestyle choices, the fact of the matter is that there are 11 children that need somewhere to live.

"I'm attempting to send out a different message, objecting to people who think they know best when it comes to who is deserving of housing."

Her petition, at change.org, has garnered support from 12 people in two days.

And she has come out in support of Heather's large brood.

The 41-year-old, from Cheltenham, said: "She is providing for them with day-to-day care.

"She is the one standing by them.

"You have to ask where the fathers are in all of this."

When told about the petition yesterday, Heather said that she was pleased but did not want to talk about it.

But dad-of-one Robert Stringer, 34, from Tewkesbury, had short-shrift for Heather's relocation plans.

His petition, launched on the same website three days ago, already has more than 1,300 signatures.

He said: "This is not against Heather. It never has been. It is against the housing policy that has allowed this in the first place."

The news of Heather's move has divided opinion since it was revealed that Tewkesbury Borough Council sold a plot of land at Northway Lane, in Tewkesbury, to Severn Vale Housing, who are building 15 affordable homes on the site – including the controversial six-bedroom house.

Heather's own father Roy Frost said she doesn't deserve the £400,000 house.

In an interview on Saturday he described her as 'lazy' and feels her current house – two council houses in Innsworth Lane knocked together – would be adequate with some alterations.

    “@ mr/mrs/miss/ms Sayin, thank you for your input, now that you have pointed out what in hindsight is obvious, I now feel no resentment towards the other poster that you mention. Having now checked out all their posts myself on this story and the inconsitencies you mention, I can only agree, and also believe now that the responses lean towards it being someone with learning difficulties. Nobody should mock that. I agree, i do like biscuits and god forbid we should ever be invaded. Food for thought, thank you.”

    “@andypandy. Regardless of my acknowledgement of your "difficulties" I still applaud your input and in your own way trying to have a say, as inconsistent throughout the various stories on this subject as you may be. Hurrah you!”

    “@ Dr Foster. I understand how this level of ignorance can be distressing, not only directly from the story but also from the likes of less educated posters than one self. The upside is that whatever the current cost to the taxpayer, for this amount of cannon fodder, should we get involved as a country in another serious conflict, for us the taxpayer and the government it is a relatively cheap solution for front line infantry. Even if there is no war everybody needs their biscuits packed. Think about it.”

    “andypandy having checked out all of your comments on all articles reffering to this story. I now understand that you are not being a hypocrite but perhaps have learning difficulties. I understand as a "Special Needs" teacher and just want to assure ypou it really is nothing to be ashamed of. Sincerely.”

    “Nam_Sayin - how does the fact the comments removed make me look like the fool? please explain.

    I am not interested in Dr Foster and his name and if he is a Dr, where he is from etc.

    I am well aware of what the article is about. Thank you though. I am well aware of why and, like others up in arms about the woman. You are missing my point. Dr Foster was commenting on racism. I was responding.”

    “Furthermore to this topic, the repercussions of the ignorance of the woman this article is about go way deeper than just being handed a mansion on a plate. A couple of years ago both of my children attended the same school as two of her children. Needless to say learning was very difficult as her children spent all of their time disrupting classes. Another consequence of poor role models that we all pay for in the long run!”

    “Id also like to say to andypandy, although I dont agree nor condone drfosters name calling, its a shame he actually did that, as the comments he had made that were directed at you and removed made you look somewhat the fool. Sorry, had to be said. Nothing personal.”

    “Quote of andypandy "I couldn't give a stuff if she had every race under the sun so long as she could support them ."

    Hilarious, the reason most people are wound up by this story is exactly that, she cant!”
