A housing boss has refused to resign from his cushy £185,000 job after his mouldy home resulted in the death of a two-year old Awaab Ishak.
Awaab Ishak died as a direct result of the awful conditions in his housing association home
RBH chief executive Gareth Swarbrick today announced he will not be resigning from his role despite facing an intense public backlash and criticism from housing secretary Michael Gove. RBH received a staggering 600 complaints in a month from tenants complaining of damp and black mould in their properties.into the estate where Awaab’s family lived revealed a slew of mould problems, children hospitalised with breathing difficulties and medical professionals writing concerned letters about their housing situation.
When the boy’s parents contacted the housing association to complain about the mould, they were told to paint over it ‘But I do appreciate that nothing I say or do can bring Awaab back. More than anything, I hope you know that Awaab will – I am sure – make a difference for other people.’
