A couple living in a council flat at the Victoria Centre claim their home is falling apart as they wait for a leak to be fixed. Gary Brett, who lives on the ninth floor of the block of flats, says his Nottingham City Homes (NCH) property suffers leaks roughly every six months.
The 54-year-old trentbarton worker and his girlfriend Tracey Coombes, 58, are currently living with the smell of damp due to the latest leak. NCH says it originated in a privately-owned flat above and they are working to resolve the problem.
“It smells of damp. The council are waiting for it to dry out so they can come out and do the work," Mr Brett told Nottinghamshire Live. “The wall was wet through, it had gone down the walls and into the next floor."
