Edinburgh residents say they are 'living in slum' with 'garden like a jungle'

An Edinburgh resident says she feels like she's "living in a slum" as the grass around her flat has not been maintained at all this year.

Angela Robinson, 53, lives with her husband Raymond, 66, who struggles with his mobility and has not been in the garden in 2022 due to the 'jungle' growing outside the building.

Angela's flat on Stein Street, South Queensferry, is owned by Link Housing, and all 12 tenants pay a fee of £10 a month added onto their rent to maintain the stair and outdoor garden.
