A Midlothian mum says she has been living in a mouldy house for six years.
Laura Carruthers, 27, has described her situation as a ‘nightmare’ as her Danderhall flat has become covered in damp and mould – a problem she first raised with the council in 2017.
After enjoying her first year in the home, the full-time carer said she began to spot areas of mould in her son’s bedroom cupboard, which raised alarm bells. The problem has worsened over time, leading to dampness spreading across different rooms.
