A Paisley mum has lambasted a developer after it withdrew from the sale of a home – but held on to her deposit and cash paid for fixtures and fittings. Julie Nicol paid Kingston Residential (KR) £2,000 in July 2021 to secure a three-bed home due to be constructed on Broadlie Road, Neilston, by December of that year.
Scots mum paralysed by 'orange-sized' brain tumour trapped in bedroom of council home for three years
01.02.2023 - 08:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum who was left paralysed by an orange-sized brain tumour says she feels like a prisoner after being ‘trapped in her bedroom’ for years. Mary Frances Bradley claims that her North Ayrshire Council home is too small for her wheelchair to move around and has to be carried from room to room by her husband Thomas.
The 47-year-old, a former cleaning supervisor, had a large mass on her brain removed during emergency surgery at the Southern General Hospital in 2013.
But the mum-of-two suffered left-sided paralysis below the waist as well as losing the function of her left hand - leaving her unable to work. Husband Thomas, also 47, tried to keep his job as a bin lorry driver but was forced to give it up to care for his wife’s complex health needs, which include terrifying seizures.
After having to sell their home, the couple and their two children were later housed in the Dalry property in 2016 but have faced a battle ever since to be moved to a suitable house. Speaking through tears, Mary said: “I’m at my wits end. We just don’t know what to do anymore.
“I’ve been trapped in my bedroom for years. I’ve had five nervous breakdowns and over the last year, my husband has had three strokes which we think is because of the stress of it all. I feel like I’ve been passed from pillar to post by the council.
“They say they don’t have any houses so years down the line, I’m still living like a prisoner in my bedroom. I’ve basically been trapped here in hell. I’d be better off in jail.
“I’m a wheelchair user but the house isn’t big enough for it so my husband has to carry me off the bed, onto the toilet, everywhere. The bathroom isn’t big enough for my chair so I have to get bed baths.
“My kids have had to watch this and my daughter moved
