i told them, richard, i told them. he is repainting after a visit from the council's workmen. they have finally come out after two years of complaints about mould. they have replaced some plasterboard, butjoe thinks that they haven't done enough. all this places was really mould, black. so the council effectively just painted over it? yes. and you are painting over it again? again. joe said the council only did the work after he got a solicitor involved. because the council were not responding, you went to a lawyer? they said they are going to fight on my behalf to get £1,500, then from there, they would take the fees. so the council paid out £1,500 in compensation. the majority went to the company, the lawyers, and you got a small amount? were you happy with that? no, not at all. it's a shame, that i had to use a lawyer before they would come out to see what had really happened to my room. last year, lewisham council had a budget of £1 million
