Scots mum left stranded in flat with young son after housing association rip out bathroom

A mum and her toddler have been left stranded in a rented flat with no bathroom after workers ripped out parts of her home following a leak in a neighbouring flat.

Aimee Somerville, 25, had the bathroom taken out on October 19 by workers from her housing association, who were investigating a flood from a property below. During the process, dust was plunged into the air as her insulated floors were torn up - also leaving her flat exposed to the cold.

The mum-of-one, from Gilmerton in Edinburgh, says her anxiety levels are rising and her three-year-old son Leon's asthma is worsening due to the conditions. Leon suffers from chronic asthma and his worried mum said he ended up in hospital unable to breathe after inhaling dust during the work.
