My house is covered in cracks and sinking but me and my daughter have nowhere else to go

A Leeds mum has been living a "nightmare" since discovering a large crack in her home that turned out to mean it is sinking.

Jenny Jopson, 36, has had multiple engineers and surveyors out to her council house in Little London since she first discovered the crack two years ago when the ground beneath a building begins to sink. She says they've all confirmed the problem is subsidence.

Already living on shifting ground, the growing crack was only the start of the problems for single mum Jenny, who has lived in the house for nearly 14 years. In June this year, she discovered another crack near the gas meter - and when an engineer came round to look at it, he discovered a bent gas pipe running into the house.
