Rebecca McCallum claims she has been left struggling to breathe as mould and mildew have taken over her Foxbar flat
A Paisley woman says she is being forced to sleep on her living room floor as the damp in her home is so severe it’s making her ill.
She insists the ongoing issue has left her thousands of pounds out of pocket due to mould destroying her clothes and furniture. “I’ve completely given up,” said Rebecca. "I have moved into my living room and I am sleeping on the floor with my dog due to the damp and mould in the bedroom. She says she has had repeated visits from Renfrewshire Council housing inspectors but, so far, no action has been taken since she first reported the issue more than a year ago.
“Last year when I was staying in my room I had to have my window wide open in the middle of winter and sit with my face under my duvet because the air wasn’t breathable. A spokesman from Renfrewshire Council said: “Our rot-work contractor has done an assessment of the property. The assessment highlighted that some repairs were needed in one of the bedrooms, along with some external work.
