A man has told about the horrific pest infestation at his "mouldy" council flat, including rats "the size of his springer spaniel" dog, where he has been living for 20 years
Nic, 50, moved into his Hackney flat in 2001 and he said that the problems of hygiene with insects and rodents as well as alleged antisocial behaviour from neighbours has been there ever since.
He also claimed that the conditions at his home have added to his mental health illness that includes depression and social anxiety - which means he now feels uncomfortable going out on his own, reported MyLondon.
