Edinburgh mum left without hot water for weeks and unable to wash young children

An Edinburgh mum living in Leith's Banana Flats has been left without hot water for three weeks as well as dirty black grime spewing from her kitchen sink and washing machine.

Demi Coleman has hit out at the council after trying to secure a move to another property for the past four years, saying her flat at Cables Wynd House is unfit for purpose and unsafe for her two young boys.

Demi says that an issue with old pipes in her home has caused horrible black water to overflow from her sink for the last four years and is also being flushed through her washing machine leaving her unable to wash her children's clothes in clean water.
