Infestations of rats, mice and bluebottles have turned a Salford street into "a living hell", according to residents. One mother of a three-year-old daughter says the problem is so bad they can't eat meals in her Swinton home.
The residents of the houses on Rake Lane are all tenants of Salix Homes. They say they have made numerous complaints about the infestations.
Emma Martin, 37, was rehoused in Rake Lane five months ago after she and her three-year-old daughter Margot became homeless. But she said as soon as she moved in they were "overrun" with flies and rats under the floorboards.
