Council flat or otherwise, you have rights. It sounds awful and why should you put up with it? Don't be fobbed off and I wish you luck in getting your problem sorted out.0

Really?! Suggest they start by putting one in, preferably with a heat exchanger! Sounds like a badly designed and insulated flat to me. No balcony, I presume?
I've ben living in a flat in a fairly cold and (in winter) damp part of Italy. In a decently designed, insulated and heated flat damp shouldn't be an issue.0 -

Just a little update a manager came straight out to view carpet and agreed it's not acceptable and that he's going to speak to their insurance company0
