A Liverpool man living in a flat infested with horrific damp and mould says he is "terrified" to stay in his home because it is making him sick.
Gerard Francis suffers with severe depression and rheumatoid arthritis. He says the shocking condition of his flat in Dingle is making both conditions worse.
Gerard, 41, invited the ECHO into his flat in Wellington Road to view the conditions up close and as these images show, various rooms are infested with severe mould, damp and rotting walls.
