'Vulnerable' mum forced to sleep on floor in freezing flood-damaged flat

A single mum-of-two has told how she has to sleep on the floor in a cold flat without hot water. Rosemarie had to give up her bed to her sons after a massive leak left their room and beds unusable.

The woman told how she is struggling to cope with the “horrific” conditions in the social housing flat. The family moved into her current flat in the Muswell Hill area of London just over two years ago and she lives there with her two sons, aged 15 and seven.

But she said there have been issues over the state of the property, owned by Peabody Housing Association, since she took over the tenancy. “First, the bathroom radiator wasn’t working. They came and they tried to fix it, but it still just comes on now and again,” Rosemarie told MyLondon.
