Liverpool Council was ordered to pay compensation to the woman and apologise for the situation
A woman and her autistic son were left in a home with damp walls for more than a year after Liverpool Council deemed it to be in an “acceptable condition.” The local authority was found to be at fault with how it handled the case of the woman and her son between October 2022 and September this year.
Issues included damp walls, windows needing resealing and a hole in the sink. In May last year, Miss X raised an initial complaint because Liverpool Council had not carried out a suitability review of the property. She said the council continued letting her live in unsafe and unsuitable housing despite knowing about her health conditions and her son’s autism.
