Mum 'emotionally destroyed' over long wait for repairs on overcrowded home

A mother-of-four has been left "emotionally destroyed" because a housing company has not carried out urgent work requested on her home. Ellesse Walters says wind-damaged fence panels have been left with exposed nails despite efforts to get the issue fixed for months, among other problems.

Ellesse, 31, has been living in her two-bedroom property on Park Lane in Old Basford for 11-and-a-half years which has been supplied by PA Housing. Earlier this year, when storms caused heavy winds, this damaged fence panels at her property which left nails sticking out and the panels became unsecure, with Ellesse saying there was one time when her kids got out on to the road through the garden.

She says the garden is not safe for her children to play in, and has noticed members of the public come into the garden too. Ellesse, who's currently unemployed, says she has been trying to get the problems fixed by PA Housing since the fences were damaged, but despite asking on several different occasions, the repairs have not been carried out.
