Around 120 homes in the city have 'signifcant' damp problems
Heworth ward Labour councillor Bob Webb said metre readings on some walls in Bell Farm were recording damp levels of 50 per cent – when they should read at around four per cent.“In York, the Lib Dem – Green administration have been tactically ignoring this problem in favour of pet projects elsewhere,” he added.
Committee vice-chair Coun Michael Pavlovic said it was important to avoid “lazy stereotypes” about people’s lifestyles being responsible for damp.Executive member for housing Coun Denise Craghill said she had regular meetings about the issue and said the council was prioritising the worst cases and improving communication with residents.
The meeting was told that work on 13 properties was scheduled for this financial year, with work on 107 due to go to a new contractor to be appointed next year.The council is also urging tenants to report cases of damp and mould to them. Ms Carter said it was just one problem that can affect homes and that a few black spots were not a cause for alarm, but added that cases like Awaab Ishak were the ones that kept her awake at night.
