I’m 91 and have cancer but a London council let me live in a soaking, mouldy flat for a year
The article discusses the plight of a 91-year-old leaseholder in a block of flats owned by Wandsworth Council in London. The leaseholder has been living with a water leak that began a year ago, resulting in saturated walls, dripping water, and falling plaster. Despite reporting the issue, the council has failed to address the problem, leaving a large opening in the kitchen wall that has never been repaired and is now infested with insects. The council refused to classify the repair as an "emergency," leaving the elderly resident to cope with the deteriorating living conditions for an extended period.
