Spit on door handles, walls and the buttons in the lift has become a daily occurance for us. I am self isolating as pregnant with young children but DP still needs to go to work as a key worker (not front line)
We live in a block of 50 families.
Over the last few weeks people have been spitting all over the comunal areas - focusing on every button on the lifts.
Not little spits- big dripping all the way down ones.
The council have refused to send someone to clean it. They also refused to log it in their system on saturday since no-one was going to attend covering their own backs
I was advised to log it with 101 police and they said someone should come out to sort it but if they have refused due to health and safety then there is nothing they can do.
In the meantime everyone who is coming in and out of the building have been put at risk.
This has been going on for weeks now but has ramped up since monday.
Me and my children are trapped in- i can't even take them to the field to run around now.
I have been disinfecting the door handles and lift buttons before and after i use them to try to be considerate while others are actively trying to scare and infect people.
I have called again and once again been told "we dont deal with this try someone else"
At least I got a number today. The last guy didn't know who i should call- just that i should call someone else.
The stairs arent much better- at least things are spread out.
-i avoid the stairs anyway after encountering urine, vomit and faeces (human and dog) and drug paraphernalia. But at least it was on the floor.
This is 10x worse for us at the moment because our house purchase ticket out of this disgusting bucket of concentrated Hell has been put on hold. We were so close to escaping and now we are trapped worse than before.
With hormones runing high from the pregnancy and the added stress of "why cant we go to school/ visit nanny and grandad/ go play outside" my mental health is sliding and I am worried about how I am going to cope with a newborn aswell.
I have had suicidal thoughts before but this is pushing me over the edge. Nobody is willing to help me. Everyone is fobbing me off. Nobody cares about us as we are clearly the scum of society living in a council flat. No more than ever.
Someone was arrested for coughing deliberately- isn't this the same? Who can I ask? I am completely desperate.
