Residents of an apartment block owned by London’s largest housing association have spoken of their despair after being left for 12 days without running water during repairs to a leaking supply pipe.
Social housing tenants and leaseholders in the block of 12 flats in Sidcup, south-east London, said they were unable to shower or clean for nearly a fortnight when their water was shut off by London & Quadrant contractors without warning last month. Some, including older and disabled people, said they were forced to live in saturated rooms with black mould while waiting for the leak to be resolved.
