A couple living in a council flat in the Victoria Centre block have been forced to stay in a hotel after their ceiling collapsed due to a flood. The husband and wife say the water leak had originated in a flat above and left their property smelling "like poo".
Marie Mullan, 54, who lives in her Nottingham City Homes (NCH) flat with husband Shaun, 56, said the ordeal began on Saturday, August 20. The full-time cleaner said a plumber had visited their residence in an attempt to remedy the problem before it worsened, however the leak had been originating from above.
Problems with access to a property above, which was a leaseholder flat and not one belonging to Nottingham City Homes, only led to the issue becoming worse. By Monday morning the flooding had spread to her kitchen and living room, where the plastered ceiling soon collapsed.
