Her appointment for it to be treated is not until March.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has also put in a request for compensation for her belongings which have been damaged from the mould spreading, but she is still awaiting a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, she feels more could have been done to support residents, despite representatives saying they said all they could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Moore said: \u201cThere has been no contact from councillors, and the only communication from the council has been about the work which is planned with the new sprinkler systems, and the work beginning to start outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey know how the flats are prone to mould, and by leaving them in the state that they did, it was obvious the problem would
