Disabled man's mouldy flat leaves him 'struggling to breathe' and showering at leisure centre

A disabled man says the mould in his house is so bad it is leaving him struggling to breathe. Jason King, 50, claims that his attempts to get the long-running issues rectified at his flat in Cheshire have fallen on deaf ears and he is 'getting desperate'.

Jason also says that he has to shower at his local leisure centre because the water pressure in his wet room is 'pathetic'. The former mobile mechanic for Asda, who can no longer work and is now disabled due to a serious back injury he sustained following a crash, has been living in the Chester property owned by social housing provider Sanctuary for just over two years.

He claims that he had noticed water dripping down his bedroom wall for a while before discovering 'mould and damp' behind his wardrobe and cupboards in December. Mr King says 'green mould' had 'eaten chunks' of his furniture, which he had in place since February last year.
