Disabled Lanarkshire grandad stuck in bedroom after burst pipe floods council home

A disabled Lanarkshire grandad, who is a wheelchair-user, says he has been confined to living in his bedroom after his home flooded two months ago.

David Doris, who has had both his legs amputated, is still waiting for the council to carry out repairs following a burst pipe in his Airdrie home.

The 52-year-old was in the living room of his Plains flat, near Airdrie, on December 16 when water started pouring down through the ceiling, walls and out the light fitting after a pipe burst in an upstairs property, the Daily Record reports.
