A disabled woman who says she has been living in damp, leaky flat for seven years purchased 28 dehumidifiers in an attempt to stop the spread of black mould.
Ruth Massey-Taylor, 46, said the severe damp in her Higher Bebington home left her furniture "waterlogged", and caused her to have to throw away 75 bags of ruined, foul-smelling clothes. However, social housing provider The Regenda Group said the property was inspected in August last year and found "no evidence as to any structural problems causing damp or mould."
Ruth said: "I'm sitting in a living room chewed up by mice. I've got mice actually nesting under my floor, carpets full of mould and waterlogged. I'm running dehumidifiers like you wouldn't believe it. I sat there last night crying because I just don't know what to do."
