'At breaking point' over home plagued by rodents

'I FELT LIKE I SHOULD JUST PACK UP, GET A TENT AND LIVE UNDER A TREE'

- CHRIS GEE

A WOMAN dealing with a rodent infestation at her home says she's at 'breaking point?

Maggie McGurrin, 58, says she feels like 'packing up and moving into a tent' because of the disgusting problem at her shared ownership property.

She says she's been trying to get it sorted for 15 months. Maggie claims mouse droppings have fallen through the loft hatch in her bedroom - and that she has been left breathing in the stench of rodent urine from the attic.

Maggie, who previously worked in client support for law firms, has been at her home in Kittybert Avenue, Abbey Hey, Gorton, for 13 years.

She owns 25 per cent of the property, with the remaining 75pc in the hands of housing provider Arcon Housing, which is owned by Bolton at Home.

Maggie said she has various debilitating health conditions.
