I had new roof put on and loft insulation fitted by local council and since then my walls and in the roof are dripping with water. Please can anyone advise me as the council dont seem to be bothered.

Peccavi is an encyclopedia. Yes sounds to me the've blocked the eaves with the insulation....bad move the roof void needs ventilation to prevent build up of moist air hitting warm surfaces and condensing which seems to me to be the problem. Either they are cowboy contractors or were over enthusiastic in insulating without leaving the eaves end free for flow of air. Try also local MP he might make them shift and correct it.
