Sara Martin and Alistair Stuart are struggling to cope with the problems that have pervaded their home in Edinburgh, and the impact it is having on the health of their kids.
A couple from Edinburgh have spoken out about the horrifying dampness and mould which has plagued their council flat for nearly a decade.
Council workers have made attempts to remove the dampness but to no avail - Sara explained that the mould has continued to spread, with the family forced to rip up their "soaking" carpets this winter. "Four and a half years ago we got decanted to a two bedroom flat so they could do insulation in the walls which we were told by the inspector would be brick, but they just seemed to do a whitewash and put plasterboard over it and within two or three months it was starting to come back through.
"My youngest daughter, she's four and all she does is cough constantly. If she's not got a cough she's got a cold. In this house, it's cold enough with carpets and things but with no carpets the second the heating goes off the heat is gone. With the cost of living crisis right now it's a big concern.
