A RESIDENT with arthritis and depression has slammed his housing association after he was left without hot water or heating for six weeks following an annual check on his boiler.
Karl Stake, 56, had to travel to family and friends to wash as appointments to fix the boiler were cancelled.
Karl told the M.E.N. that engineers came to his Onward Homes managed property in The Pewfist, Westhoughton, Bolton, at the end of March to carry out an annual check.
However, he says a problem was found with the boiler piping, which was broken off during the check.
This left the boiler broken, meaning Karl, who has mobility issues, was unable to heat his home or get any hot water. A few appointments were made to fix the boiler, but he says these were initially cancelled at short notice.
