In this episode of Pad Wives Unfiltered, Sophs and Kirsha read out real listener experiences of military housing, and what you sent us stopped us in our tracks.
Mould growing on walls and ceilings. Leaking roofs left unrepaired for months, 34 weeks pregnant and falling through the kitchen ceiling?!
Contractors coming out, doing the job wrong, and having to come back again. And again. Families living in conditions that would be unacceptable anywhere else — while the MOD continues to spend money patching problems that a proper repair would have fixed the first time.
This is not a new problem. You've been telling us for years. This episode we're finally saying it out loud — with your stories, your names if you wanted them used, and the receipts.
We also talk about: the complaints process and why so many families feel it goes nowhere, the financial cost of repeated botched repairs versus doing it properly, and what the new Defence Housing Service announcement actually needs to mean for this to change.
If you have lived in military housing, this episode is for you. If you haven't, this is the conversation that needs to be louder.
Share this episode. Send it to someone in the MOD. Post it everywhere.
