BEVERLEY Wood and her two teenagers have spent the last week in a caravan.
But it's no holiday - just a temporary escape from the 'absolute terror' they experience at their rodent-infested home in Oldham.
The mum-of-two says she has spent more than £1,400 almost all of her monthly income - on moving from one AirBnB to the next this month.
Her two kids, who are diagnosed with autism and find changes in their environment challenging, are at their limit dealing with all the change, she says. But Beverley feels she has no choice. In almost two years of reporting her housing issues, the 45-year-old claims her housing association, Onward Homes, has done 'nothing' to sort out what she suspects is a writhing rodent nest beneath the housing estate.
With money running out, Beverley who works as a part-time teaching assistant says the family will soon have to move back into their rat and mouse-infested home.
"We still don't have a home," she said. "I feel like I'm getting to the point where I'm running out of options.
No-one will help us." The trouble in her house, where she's lived for five years, started over a year ago when a smell started developing under the floorboards that was 'so bad' it made her eldest 'vomit. They believe it was a dead rat.
