Leaking Roof
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do it this way, but I’m left with no choice. As I start writing this, it’s 2:45am at the Old St Ambrose RC High School in Swinton, Manchester… and it’s raining. I’ve been staying here for about 2.5 months and I have now reported a leaking roof on three occasions - leaks that have caused minor flooding in the communal areas but, more importantly, have made their way into my room, meaning I have to keep buckets near my bed. I have alerted them to the fact that the water is coming in through areas with electrical cables, which is obviously potentially very dangerous. On each occasion I’ve reported the leak so far, I have been responded to with “we will report it” or “we will re-report it”. However, nothing has been done. I imagine Adhoc will reply to this comment blaming whoever they’ve reported it to (I believe it’s the council) but I won’t accept it. It needs addressing right now. Urgently. When I originally moved in, I noticed a number of ceiling tiles where water had got in before. I assumed that had been from an old leak that had now been rectified. However, this is clearly not the case and Adhoc must have been aware of this issue prior to my arrival. If this was a private rental under a normal tenancy, a landlord would have had to have done something by now. But as it’s a property guardian scheme, I fear they can hide behind less stringent regulations and, basically, get away with doing nothing. Anyway, I’m still writing an my ceiling is still dripping. Hopefully the rain will stop at some point. I’m an atheist but I have more faith that prayer will be more effective than another message to Adhoc. So please God, if you’re listening… Anyway, I’m gonna try and get back to sleep. Hopefully I won’t get wet.
