A Rushcliffe woman says her "pride and joy" bungalow is now covered in mould because her housing company has not repaired water damage caused by leaking pipes. Barbara Bishop, 65, has lived in her bungalow for ten years and says she has "loved" being there.
Her home is situated in the small village of Barton in Fabis and is managed by Metropolitan Trent Valley Housing (MTVH). Ms Bishop says problems started just before Christmas, when she says the freezing weather led to a leak in her loft's water pipes and tank which eventually flooded out her entire bungalow.
Barbara Bishop says she has since had to throw out personal belongings and that some of her neighbours had to come into her home wearing wellies to clear up the mess, with the water reportedly four inches deep at one stage. It is understood the leak may have been caused by a loose joint, rather than a frozen pipe.
