Samantha Cameron insists on new kitchen in No11

Samantha Cameron insists on new kitchen in No11 The prime minister's wife wants an up-to-date kitchen at No11 Downing Street.Samantha Cameron has said that she wants an upgrade to the Downing Street living quarters and kitchen before she moves in.

The prime minister's wife believes that the property is not up to the standards of their £2.7 million Notting Hill home and wants some improvements to be made.

Mrs Cameron and her family will move into the four-bedroom apartment above No11 Downing Street after a full refurbishment, including a new kitchen.

The flat above No11 is bigger than the No10 apartment, in which they will initially stay, and therefore better able to accommodate the Cameron family.

Mr Cameron has said that he will pay for any costs for refurbishment that are above the standard and existing allowance.

A housing trust in Lancashire recently called for tenants to help choose the contractors and uPVC window suppliers to work on making improvements to its properties like installing cheap double glazing, the Warrington Guardian reported.
