Mum tells of fury as rent for her mould-ridden flat goes up by £60 - despite the problem being so bad it even grows on her kids’ clothes
Anne* and her two children moved to the property three years after fleeing an abusive relationship.A mum and her two children are living a council-run property so blighted by mould that she says both her and her six-year-old daughter have been left with "constant coughs".
"Gradually, as the years have gone on, it has got worse and worse. This is three years now and this is what I've ended up with," Anne added. "Me and my daughter constantly have coughs. The last cough she had she had for about three-and-a-half months...but living at my old place, she never had a cough before that," Anne said.Anne no longer cooks in her kitchen because of the recent growth in mould.Lambeth Council has also told Anne, she says, on a number of occasions, not to dry her clothes indoors, but she says the mould returns "no matter" what she does.
"We will prioritise ensuring this home is safe and secure for our tenant, a pledge we have committed in relation to all our social housing. Dealing with reports of damp and mould is a key priority for the council."
