The chief executive of an under-fire housing association has been 'removed' from his role in the wake of the tragic death of Awaab Ishak.
Gareth Swarbrick was facing growing calls to stand down, but said only on Thursday that he would not resign.
Rochdale Boroughwide Housing - which was criticised at the inquest into two-year-old Awaab's death - said today it recognised his position was 'no longer tenable'.
