A MODEL mum of two young children is angry at having no power for three days.

When the electricity went off in Georgia Mann's flat, it took her landlord, Swan Housing Association, three days to fix it.

It meant the 22-year-old model had to call the association 25 times between 7am on Tuesday and 3pm on Thursday afternoon to repair the problem.

She said: “I feel very angry about it. I waited three days. We had no heating, no hot water, all the food has gone off, there was no lighting, nothing.

“I have two kids, my little girl has a disability. I thought they would come out within four hours."

The mum was given some hope on the second night without power when an engineer phoned, but it was just to check whether the house was safe and not to carry out the repairs.

Then, on Thursday an engineer arrived at her flat, in Charles Burcart Gardens, Clacton and her power was restored.

Ms Mann added: “I would like compensation for the lost food - a good £200 worth. I am really upset."

According to Ms Mann's partner, 30-year-old Michael Dewing, the fault was Swan's responsibility, rather than UK Power Networks' as the fault was with the distribution board.

A Swan Housing spokesman said the association “takes the comfort and wellbeing of its residents very seriously".

He added: “In this instance, a technical error delayed the response of the electrician.

“Swan’s principal repairs contractor, Axis, once they realised the error had occurred have been working closely with the resident to fix the issue as quickly as possible.  "Axis’ engineer yesterday attended the property and was able to fully resolve the problem.

"We have apologised to the resident involved that our service fell short of what we expect to deliver to our residents."
