A WOMAN says she will not let council workmen into her home until she finds out what is wrong with the property.
Doreen Crowe, who lives in Mellanby Crescent, Newton Aycliffe, thinks there is something seriously structurally wrong with the house.
She says she has had nothing but problems since she moved in and is sick of having to redecorate after workmen carry out repairs.
A spokesman for Sedgefield Borough Council, which is Mrs Crowe's landlord, said: "We have previously carried out structural surveys and remedial works at this property, of which Mrs Crowe is well aware.
"Indeed, we were last at her home on December 12 of last year."
He said: "If Mrs Crowe has experienced any further problems since that date we will further investigate them if she asks us to do so.
