Desperate mum begs council for new home after spending years in damp-riddled house

A desperate mum says she has been left 'begging the council' for a new home after hers was left riddled with damp. Anne Davidson, who suffers from advanced COPD, claims her already severe health issues are being made worse inside the property in Cloventsone, Edinburgh.

The 41-year-old says the home is 'crumbling' and 'covered in dark mould' due to a leak on her roof. The woman has been told by the council that she is on the high priority list due to her health issues and the problems with her house, but she claims that she has been waiting for a new home for a number of years now, despite constantly complaining that her health is getting worse.
