Disgraceful images show thick clouds of mould forming in the corners of the bedroom of Pauline's home
An unwell Scots mum has been receiving kidney dialysis in a damp and mould-ridden council flat. Pauline, 57, who lives in the Craigmillar area of Edinburgh, has been suffering in the harrowing conditions, which include mould-infested, soaking wet windows.
Andrea told Edinburgh Live: "She has kidney failure, asthma and arthritis. She is really poorly. I'm just concerned about her health and this flat just isn't the best place to be in, her and my 16-year-old brother, Ryan. They don't go out much. "The windows are soaking all the time, you can see grey and black mould all around them. They are basically full of water and then that leaks onto the floor. She doesn't dry clothes inside because she has a tumble dryer, but we live on the seventh floor and I think the damp gets worse the higher you go up the building."
Andrea has blasted the conditions as unacceptable and has called on Edinburgh City Council to move her mum and brother. She continued: "It's just not a nice place to live and I really want to see them out of there. I'm not asking for much, doesn't need to be anything fancy, or a new build, but just somewhere dry, ground floor, and close by because I help them both out a lot."
