Lanarkshire homeowner locked in six-year battle with council over water damage

Jacqueline Younger bought the second floor flat in Colonsay, St Leonards, in 2016 and says the council failed in its duty as factor of the block to identify and repair faults to the roof a number of years ago.

Initially faulty roughcast was blamed and was repaired by the council in 2017, costing residents in the block of the flats over £1000 each, but this did nothing to fix Jacqueline's water ingress problems.
