A Leeds pensioner has been going “mad” over a leak in his bedroom from a hole in his roof – which he was told wouldn’t be fixed until February.
Water has been “pouring” into his bedroom through a leak caused by the hole and it’s been making the 71-year-old’s life a misery. Peter Blackshire, who lives in a council flat in Fearnley Place in Armley, says he’s not been able to get Leeds City Council to fix it for seven-weeks, ever since reporting it at the beginning of December.
Instead, he’s had to place a bucket beneath the leak which keeps “filling up” and worries the whole bedroom ceiling will collapse at any given moment – especially if the weather gets cold and icy over the next month.
