Sandwell Council has employed contractors to build an extra floor on Coniston House, Badsey Road, on the Lion Farm estate.

But a combination of the building work and the windows in their own properties not having been resealed since they were replaced four months ago has led to complaints about damp, mould and ruined bedclothes after the recent heavy rain.

Residents include Amy Rudge, who has two youngsters under the age of two and another aged five.
