Hi all, I'm Rosie, a freelance journalist currently working on a piece for a national paper about small flats in the UK! There's this thing called the national space standard (which is NOT compulsory for authorities but is a guideline) and it dictates that people should have a certain amount of space per person per flat - so for a single occupant that's 37sqm. A researcher I've been talking to has given me some data on Blackpool and it looks like there are quite a lot of flats below the space standard here! To make sure I properly represent the area I wondered if anyone in this group who lives in a small flat might be willing to talk to me? Ideally you're willing to be named + photographed for the piece, and you're able to talk to me about your living situation. If you think your flat might be under the space standard but you aren't 100% sure of the square meterage, still feel free to get in touch! There are ways we can work out if it is or not. I'm happy to give more info to those who message me, but this is the general rundown. Thanks for reading :)
