A mum of two has hit out at her local council after a leak in the ceiling in her new-build flat went unrepaired, causing 'black and hairy' mould to appear in her home.
The mum, who asked not to be named, told sister site Aberdeen Live that the newly built social home in Aberdeen's Northfield has sprouted unwelcome growths in recent months following torrential rainfall. She moved into the flat with her two children aged 10 and 16 in June 2021, after leaving a previous home also riddled with mould.
She said the recent cold spells have left the walls covered in disgusting mould that she fears could make her children ill. Her attempts to have the council rectify the issues have, she claims, fallen on deaf ears.
