Cavity Insulation in neighbours house causing damp in mine

Hello
I've recently discovered (via a survey) that poorly fitted Cavity insulation in my neighbour's property (semi-detached) has been causing dampness to my property because no cavity barrier was installed. Their home is council-owned, mine is privately owned.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
Can I claim repair expenses from the council? I've already had to have the wall replastered and now face another bill of £1000 to rectify the issue fully. My house was going to be rented out but that has had to be delayed because of this issue.
Any information or experiences are very welcome.
Many thanks,
M
