A Perth pensioner said she is preparing to chain herself to the offices of her accommodation provider in protest at being left without heating for four weeks.
Valdirmere Tchaikovsky, 71, lives in a property in Gowans Terrace owned by Kingdom Housing Association (KHA). She claims to have been without heating because of a gas boiler that has been on the blink for the last four weeks.
She wrote to her MSP John Swinney on March 3, who replied saying he was “concerned” about the situation. Mr Swinney added he’d asked Kingdom’s technical services manager to pay her a visit.
