Single dad and kids living on takeaways as dirty water runs into kitchen

A single dad-of-five and his children were forced to live on takeaways due to the amount of dirty water pouring into their kitchen.

Tony Mckenzie told the ECHO about the shocking conditions at his home in Everton, which he and his four daughters, aged between four and 23, have had to endure for the last 15 months. It all started back in February last year when water started leaking from the family's bathroom upstairs into their kitchen - and Mr Mckenzie, 47, said the leak has now got so bad that water is pouring directly onto the family's oven.

The house is the responsibility of social housing provider Torus, who Mr Mckenzie said he has contacted countless times over the issues, which have left him unable to cook in his own home.
