Woman Left Without Hot Water for a Month
Michele Atterbury, a resident of the De Beauvoir Estate in Hackney, has been struggling without hot water and heating for over a month.
"It has been very stressful trying to keep myself clean and warm. I haven’t been able to have a proper wash because there’s no hot water. I’ve had to boil the kettle and fill the sink for a flannel wash, which means I can only wash myself once a day in the morning to control the cost of running it."
Atterbury has been forced to take extreme measures to maintain her hygiene and warmth, including using an electric blanket and boiling the kettle multiple times a day to wash dishes and clean surfaces.
Despite her efforts, the situation remains unresolved, and Atterbury is still waiting for a working boiler to be installed.
