Council Housing (Repairs)

[Yosser 10]

Been trying to get through on the phone to the council repair dep for an elderly relative. Does anyone know whats going on? They only seem to answer to emergency repairs, that's if they answer at all.

The plumber finally came out today ( I'm Mikeybear's partner ) but he can't do anything until he can get in touch with the tennent who lives above me, whos flat is also flooded. The Kier plumber tried phoning him but his phone is switched off. We've done all we can do for now, meanwhile the water damage is getting worse every minuet and the bedroom carpet is like a swimming pool. we're have to put black bags down aswell as towels.. I'm ready to tear my hair out:loopy:

Wow! I really feel sorry for you as this is terrible. You would have thought the law would have been changed by now so as the police could enter the flat above as an emergency. I hope you sort this out soon and good luck.

Landlord can enter flat in an emergency. In case of council flats that would be council representative?

Council plumber maybe?
