Edinburgh mum says council house mould is putting health of children 'at risk'
Furious Edinburgh residents have held a protest outside the city's council buildings after being left in 'squalor' for the last five years. Natasha and Rory Blake held the demonstration outside the West Pilton base on Friday to demand that bosses start treating the extensive damp and mould in their Muirhouse property.
Natasha and Rory first contacted the council about the damp in November 2017. A surveyor was sent out to the property, but reported that there was no issue with mould. Natasha, a Living Rent member, said: “The issue in our household is mould and dampness that the council are doing nothing about. We’ve previously had the dampness ‘treated’ and what I mean by that is they painted over the problem.
After two years of inaction, the couple joined their local branch of Living Rent in the hopes of putting pressure on the council to finally tackle the mould and dampness in their home. Joined by other members from the organisation, the pair took to the streets outside Edinburgh City Council to demand that bosses provide them with an alternative property that does not ‘threaten their children’s health’.
