The mother of a severely disabled child says she has faced a “nightmare” living in a block of flats hit by flooding, damp and heating failures. Joanna Stewart, who lives in Daffodil Court, Granville Road, Childs Hill, says she is desperate to move out of the flat as it is not suitable for her daughter, who has a life-threatening illness. But despite repeated complaints to housing association Notting Hill Genesis, she said little had been done to fix the ongoing problems affecting the block. And although she has been in the highest-priority band on the housing waiting list for more than three years, the council’s housing arm, Barnet Homes, has not offered her an alternative home that is suitable for her family.
