A mum was shocked to find out that her energy bill is increasing to £5,000 a year. The loving mum-of-three, who wishes to remain anonymous due to safety reasons, says her home is mould-infested and mushrooms are growing out of the floor.
She has forked out £15,000 in the last five years, and says the bill is so high because she heats her home to keep out the cold and keep the damp under control. Large areas in the kitchen, hallway and bedrooms are covered in black mould.
She also suspects that some of the tiles on her front room may contain asbestos. Clarion Housing, the company that manages her home, has apologised and made arrangements to move her to a new property.
