They've all been sleeping in one bed to keep warm
A family of four had to sleep in one bed to keep warm after being left without heating in a shell of a house. The property in Salford needs '£20,000-worth' of improvements, but Nathaniel Finlay and his partner and children say they have been left in limbo due to delays in the work being completed.
Nathaniel said: "We have been living in a property for the last two and a half years with excessive mould and damp problems. We have two young children in the address with their room reading the highest for damp. The family returned to the house this week from the Novotel at Worsley where they had been moved to, but the work was nowhere near finished they say. "We were in the property, with no heating, cooking facilities, no hot water, dust and dirt everywhere. Four of us slept in the same bed to keep warm. The housing association said they come out with electric heaters but no one came.
Nigel Sedman, Executive Director of Homes at ForHousing said: “We take the health and safety of our tenants very seriously, so we’re really sorry for the issues at Mr Finlay and Ms Riley’s home and we’re working hard to resolve these.
