A single parent with a one-year-old son who lives in a one bedroom flat in Patchway said he has made complaints over issues of black mould, mice and a large gaps within the walls which has caused the property to become freezing in the winter. Will Marlow is now concerned about his baby’s health after hearing about another child in the block who has been diagnosed with asthma.
Bromford housing association who currently have scaffolding up on the building have been treating the mould spread throughout the property with paint. But Will, who has been renting with Bromford for over 10 years says that the paint is not a long term solution for the families who live in the block.
Will has put in his own insulation where there are large gaps in the walls. Now he lives with his son, they are overcrowded but he is concerned that all the nearby properties are owned by Bromford and does not want to continue to have a similar experience elsewhere.
