Scots granny fears she'll be 'dead by Christmas' living in damp-ridden flat
A Glasgow granny fears she'll be 'dead by Christmas' if she is forced to continue to live in her damp-ridden home.
A letter written by Jean's GP, in March of this year, seen by Glasgow Live reads: "Over time, her health has deteriorated and it seems, her current housing is contributing to this. She told Glasgow Live: "Every time I go into hospital I am better than when I come home I’m back to square one. I can’t do it anymore.
Jean is waiting for Wheatley Homes to offer her a decant property - somewhere temporary where she will be moved while works are carried out at her current flat. However, the mum-of-two has not been given a time-scale as to when that will be. Wheatley Homes offered Jean a flat two miles away but this isn't suitable for her needs.
