Stacey Watson, a deaf mother of three, endures perilous conditions in her Ealing flat, plagued by electrical hazards, leaks, and vermin. The property, declared 'uninhabitable' by council surveyors, poses life-threatening risks, including electrical shock from faulty light fixtures. Landlord Hsing Tu-Lu blames Ealing Council for necessary repairs, as burst pipes lead to extensive damage. Furthermore, Watson's daughter often misses school to interpret for her mother at council meetings, highlighting additional challenges presented by Watson's disability. While the council acknowledges the dangerous living conditions and promises temporary rehousing, Watson seeks permanent relocation for her family's well-being.
You can get an electric shock just from turning the light on.
Sometimes it does feel like a lot of pressure. If the council is coming to visit, they don't bring an interpreter.
The damage is caused by an external pipe in the building, which the council owns. They need to cover the repairs.
The conditions she has experienced in her home as a consequence of leaks are unacceptable... Our surveyor has deemed the property as uninhabitable.
