Glasgow City Council,Property,Health

The family has been living in the property for three years, and now fear for their health as they slam the lack of action taken by Wheatley Homes and Glasgow City Council.

A familly-of-five are pleading with the authorities to treat them with "respect" after battling damp and mould in their Castlemilk flat for a year.

Wheatley Homes told Glasgow Live that they only deal with 'external' repairs to the council-owned property and that issues with damp and mould should be taken up with Glasgow City Council. Desperate for someone to listen, Kharman said: "I do not understand why we have to live in a home that is not safe. I worry about my husband and children’s health.

The union says that neither Wheatley Homes or Glasgow City Council are taking responsbility for the repairs which has been "incredibly hard for the family to navigate".
