Leaks and algae caused by energy scheme to be fixed

Dozens of homes left with water leaks and green algae growth due to faulty insulation from a Welsh government energy scheme will be repaired.

The work was done on 42 homes in four villages in the Arfon area 10 years ago, and has caused leaks and green growth over the gables of the houses.

"All this green algae started to come through after a year of the work," said Kerry Roberts, one of the residents affected from Deiniolen, Gwynedd.

The Welsh government said it allocated £3.5m to repair the properties following a "review process last year".
