Harry Smith with wife Vicky at their current home at Hickling Court in Mansfield.
The dispute started last October when Harry and his 60-year-old wife Vicky, also known as Roxy, moved into a one-bedroom bungalow, owned by the council, at Hickling Court.

I spent a few hours having an emergency operation on my spine at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham while specialists rebuilt me.
