Disability campaigners have called for more to be done to provide accessible housing in the north-east of England.

Figures show the North East has the highest proportion of disabled people and one woman told how spending years on a waiting list for housing had been "exhausting".

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) said it had invested more than £5.4bn so homes could be modified to meet residents’ needs.
