‘My house is like being in a prison – no human should live like this’

Lauren Boggie stores her clothes in the kitchen as her bedroom wardrobes are too wet and mouldy.

Lauren Boggie’s council house in Edinburgh is full of mould and worsening dampness.

She tries hard to make it a comfortable home for her family but it’s riddled with problems.

She’s storing her clothes in the kitchen as her bedroom wardrobes are too wet and mouldy.

Furthermore, she fears the property isn’t stable as the interior walls shake and rattle.

Boards cover the windows, which don’t fully close.  

She told STV News, “It’s like living in a prison”.
