Jacqueline Brown, who rents a first-floor flat in Ely, said the delay has left her living with brown staining and an unresolved ceiling issue, which leaks when it rains. She reported the problem about 20 weeks ago to landlords Sanctuary Housing, and was amazed at the quick response, with scaffolding being put up within a couple of days. Jacqueline Brown has been waiting nearly five months for repairs to be carried out to her kitchen ceiling, despite scaffolding going up 20 weeks ago.
