An asthma sufferer says she has been made “violently sick” by black mould that has been spreading through her council flat for over a year. She believes a leaking pipe caused by a mouse infestation has led to the damp conditions.
Jordan Hiscock, who has lived in the flat in New Parks, Leicester, for over ten years said the problem started during the pandemic, Leicestershire Live reports. Yet despite reporting the problem to Leicester City Council in August 2021, no repairs have been made.
The council initially said it was dealing with a repairs and maintenance backlog caused by lockdowns and that they would be in contact. However, when Jordan got back in touch a few months later the council said they had no record of her request for help.
