A mum says she is at breaking point over the condition of her damp council flat where she has been living for eight years. Sonia, 48, claims that she and her seven-year-old son have developed asthma due to mould in the one-bedroom ground floor flat.
She says she is desperate to move out due to the mould and an infestation of ants and other pets in her home in a council-owned block of flats in the east of Walthamstow, MyLondon reports. And Sonia says she has been forced to sleep in the same bed as her son in the living room as the bedroom is particularly badly affected..
Sonia says mould has grown throughout the flat so badly that some walls have been left completely black. And she claims to have seen ant infestations as they are able to get in through cracks on the ground floor and has had to fill in cracks with filler, as well as tape up other gaps in the house which could be used as entry points.
