Val Wilson, who at a previous full council meeting told city leaders they wanted a “kick up the backside” for not fixing her bungalow, returned to the big Town Hall monthly meeting today.

Val has lived in her home in Wincobank – which was finished only a week before she moved in – since 1973.

She said the 50th anniversary of her moving in will be on August 23.

Sheffield Council tenant Val Wilson - who has lived in her council bungalow for 50 years - asked the authority for an anniversary plaque to be put on her home.

Asking city leaders in the meeting, Val said: “It is possible please that I could have a plaque saying ‘50 years of Val’s bungalow’?

“It would cheer me up a treat.”

Addressing Lord Mayor Colin Ross, she added: “Is it possible for you to unveil it, please?”

Councillor Ross agreed to unveil it if the plaque is installed and said it was “one of the more unusual requests” the authority has had.

Coun Douglas Johnson, chair of the housing committee, said he would pass the request to local ward councillors to take on.
