Byker man whose family faced days of 'freezing' conditions 'let down by meagre £10 compensation'

A Byker man who faced days of "freezing" temperatures due to heating issues on the Byker Estate is "still waiting for adequate compensation".

In early December, a major disruption to the district heating system led to the loss of heating and hot water to over 1,300 homes on the Byker Estate.

Temporary boilers were installed and according to Newcastle City Council, all homes had their heating restored on December 23.
