A Nottinghamshire grandmother has said she has been ashamed of the 'disgusting' damp in her council house. Karen Draycott, 57, who lives on Main Road, Jacksdale has said the long-running damp problem in her home has ruined her kitchen and made her reluctant to see family and friends.
She has criticised Ashfield District Council, who manage the property, for what she claims has been a underwhelming response to her concerns, which she is not confident will solve the problem long-term. The damp, according to Ms Draycott, had made a 'state' of her kitchen with it accumulating behind her cupboards and causing an unpleasant smell.
"The main thing is the state of the kitchen - I have kept trying to call them out and they just said 'oh it will be alright'. And now it's got in so much of a state they've had to take it out," Ms Draycott said.
