Bristol family in distress over mould on beds and “a ghost playing with wires” in their home

A Bristol mum is at the end of her tether with mould growing on her children’s beds and faulty electrics in her home. She said this situation was made worse when a worker suggested that “a ghost was playing with the electrics”.

The mum-of-three, who preferred not to be named, lives with her children and partner in a housing association property in Whitchurch. She said the family were all sleeping in one room due to their health concerns around mould and despite cleaning regularly several times a week, she's been unable to get rid of the mould.

She said: “It’s been going on for four years now and mould grows on the kids’ bedding." Habinteg Housing Association said they take any reports of mould or damp seriously and have been working with her since 2022 and continue to resolve issues at the property.
