A MUM is fuming about her council home “stinking of mould” after a pipe burst – claiming she was only “given rags” to clean the mess up. Claire Connor, 29, and her asthmatic two-year-ol…

She claimed: "After it happened, I was told I had to stay in the property because they had nowhere else to put me and my two year old.

"It absolutely flooded my whole bedroom, flooring, clothes got ruined - it came through the ceiling of the living room, my sofa was soaked, my flooring was absolutely soaking.Connor alleged that the council “left me to it” and she had to sort out her own emergency accommodation “because the council wouldn't help me, my housing officer wouldn't help me”.as “shocking” as the stressful situation has been “affecting me a lot”.

She has lived in the council home for two years, but says she initially accepted the property “out of desperation because I was 38 weeks’ pregnant”. Claire said the lack of response to the mould, ant infestation and flooding has left her unimpressed with officials from Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing and Kirklees Council.He said: "I think everybody deserves to live in clean and dry conditions.

“There are things sorting out that need to be addressed and I wouldn't be happy if I was in that situation.”The council was contacted for comment.Credit: Yorkshire Live/Men MediaDo you have a story for The Sun news desk?
