The family of a Newcastle mum who say they are living in a "disgusting" cockroach-infested flat has slammed the building's management for failing to act quickly to solve the issue.
The single mum-of-three, who does not want to be named, claimed she was horrified to find a large number of cockroaches in her Baxterwood Grove flat when decorating. The cleaner claimed she made the grim discovery on Saturday, January 14 and found that they were in the boiler cupboard, her kitchen and under the carpets.
After speaking to her neighbours she claims they also said they had cockroaches and believe they are entering through the boiler system. However, Chronicle Live understands the resident has struggled to get any help for over a week from the building's management firm, Places for People.
