Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.
A mum-of-two has spoken about the 'pig sty' she is living in as the communal garden outside their flat has become plagued by a vermin infestation. Becky Flattery, who has lived in a Livv Housing Group flat in Huyton for the last five years, said vermin are also living inside the flats.
She told the ECHO about how she can hear them 'in my ceiling' and even in the children's' bedroom. She said she has had to bring a mattress into the living room, where she now sleeps with all her kids.
