'I wait in and they don't turn up': Young mum's anger at problem-ridden flat as bills soar to £1k

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A mum and her baby were left without heating and hot water at their apartment in Stockport for 'over a year'. Courtney says she and her one-year-old daughter Esme have experienced various issues at their flat in Brecon Towers, Brinnington, since they moved in, including damp, mould and a leak.

But according to Courtney, communication from her housing association has been poor. The single mum says she first reported having no heating in November 2023.

Since then, the water has been 'lukewarm', she says, and Courtney has had to go to her parents' home to shower and bathe her daughter while electric heaters have raised her bills to more than £1,000 a year.

Stockport Homes says the heating and hot water were restored on January 3, after first receiving reports of the issue last February.
