Scottish mum with 'mushrooms growing on walls' forced to move from 'mouldy' flat

A grandmother in Perth has spoken out on the living conditions in a city flat rented from the local council.

Helen Osbourne, 67, shared her disgust after having to visit her daughter's Stormont Street flat daily to empty buckets of water fallen from the ceiling. Helen says her daughter, Tanisha Fraser, is allergic to mould and has a five-year-old son with asthma.

A council officer who recently visited the flat said work will be carried out upstairs to find the source of the water, reports the Daily Record.
