A frustrated Scots mum has been left fearing her four-year-old son could fall 20ft out their flat window after a safety railing was not installed.
Kim Duncan claims she has been battling with Wellhouse Housing Association to have the broken window repaired at her Glasgow home since November last year.
The 40-year-old initially breathed a sigh of relief when she was told a replacement would be installed at their top floor flat on March 29.

“They came out to measure it in November and then again in February when I was told we’d have the replacement in two weeks - if the housing approved it.
“They eventually came out to fit the window on March 29.
“The contractor then came and said to me 'we can’t fit that window without the safety bar' and he was going to phone the maintenance team.
“They were told to go ahead with the job. He said he wasn’t happy with it because of the health and safety issue. I heard the whole conversation.
“At that point, I had to rush off and take my son to the hospital. When I came back, I’d been fitted with a door instead of a window.
“I’ve had people that
