Four blocks of Southern Housing accommodation in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, with over 300 flats are infested with bed bugs.
Residents of Southern Housing in St Leonards-on-Sea have endured bed bugs and mould Residents have claimed their ‘biggest mistake’ was moving in Southern Housing flats after being blighted by bed bugs, mould and asbestos. People living at Four Courts and the wider Southern Housing area have been protesting about living conditions for months, as tenants say their complaints about mould and asbestos are overlooked.
In a report investigating the complaint, Southern Housing admitted that they never replied to her after she raised concerns of mould and damp in her property daily for over a month. They offered her compensation for these failings. After one-to-one meeting and a walk around the property in August, Southern Housing agreed to move her out of the property for up to a month to remove the asbestos and replaster her property. In November, they confirmed that this would take place in January 2025.
