A mother has spoken of her growing concerns after finding mice in her home, just inches away from where her baby sleeps. Brooke Salkeld said she has been trying since 2021 to get her landlord to listen to her fears around the rodents being in the property, which she shares with her three children.
The 29-year-old single mum said the final straw for her was when she noticed a pair of mice next to her baby daughter Ayla's bouncy chair. Despite local officials saying the problem has been resolved after a visit from a pest control team, Ms Salked said she was furious that it took two years to sort out.
Ms Salkend moved into the home in 2020 and lives there with Ayla, who is seven months old, and her two other children - Blake, six, and Oakley, four. She told ChronicleLive they were promised a new kitchen and bathroom when they moved in, but this has not happened.
