A six-year-old boy living in social housing in south London has said he wishes for “somewhere nice and safe for Christmas” after his family was forced into hotels during the festive period because their home was covered in mould.
Amar and his mother Abeba Byfield, in her late 20s, and father, Andre, 31, have been forced to vacate their past two flats due to “health-threatening” amounts of mould, making them feel “completely let down, drained and depressed” by private and council accommodation.
