I too live in a council flat from Norwich City Council. The ceiling in the flat is like the one in the picture and we have mould in the bathroom and in the bedroom. This is not good as I and my partner who cares for me are Asthmatic. I am a wheelchair user <br />and have been advised to use a wheelchair in the flat which is unsuitable for this purpose. When going out I have a six inch step to negotiate.On Wednesday 7th Nov 2012 we had a fence fire and wheely bins too. Council doing nothing about this at present.We are trying to move but my partner has to prove that she is caring for me. <br />Best wishes to the other lady and her family in Norwich.

My experience suggests its not uncommon, my sister after spending a ling time on a council house waiting list had to completely redecorate and lay carpets, apparently the council take up all carpets, curtains etc between tenants because of the risk of fleas etc and paint according to a schedule rather than between tennants, so if the previous Tenant wrecked it, wrecked it is. Yet the same week a friend got emergency housing in the same town thru the housing association and it was immaculate, and the same rent! <br />Good luck to you all, your doing a great thing xMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387407423793099797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-81472649735436724232012-08-30T19:57:40.541+01:002012-08-30T19:57:40.541+01:00Chloe Smith is a ToryChloe Smith is a ToryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-26616690142726173992012-08-30T07:36:38.455+01:002012-08-30T07:36:38.455+01:00Wow.

Plus I know that these pictures only tell the story in 2d, there is no smells, no sounds, no touch, nothing to make your stomach turn like there is in real life. I just can only imagine what Clara must be feeling… vulnerable, scared, disgusted. <br /><br />I’m so glad you have all reached out to Clara with such compassion and that she is receiving help from such a supportive community. Indeed imagine all those people in similar or is it even possible, worse situations…. alone, with no-one to help them. It is just appalling.<br /><br />You ladies have done an amazing job so far. I would also like to help. How are you doing with the list? Is there anything Clara particularly needs that I can send?
