THEY'RE one of the best ways for kids to cool down in the heat.

But as she didn't have a back garden to put a paddling pool in, Jackie Bielby decided to put one out of the front of her council house – for all the kids on her estate to use.

Jackie posted a video on TikTok of the unique set-up, and insisted she doesn't care if people call her a "chav".

In the video, a 6ft rigid-sided pool was seen on the porch area of the house, next to a glass-topped outdoor table.

"Looks like a slum," one wrote.

While another added: "You not going to thank the taxpayers for buying it?"
