A Scots mum has been forced to live separately from her five-year-old daughter after finding glass under her council house carpets and a lighter in her bathroom.
Claire Williams moved into her two-bedroom flat in Loanhead, Midlothian last month but shortly after relocating, was horrified to find several major issues with the condition of the property.
Safety concerns were raised after a group of council joiners came out to rectify minor repairs in the property. They stripped back the carpet to uncover a smashed beer bottle that her daughter could "easily have stood on", and an old lighter in the bathroom along with several nails sticking out of the floor, reports EdinburghLive.
