A family living in mouldy conditions are pleading to leave their flat due to their children's deteriorating health. Emma Whitehouse said her children were in and out of hospital up to three times a year because of breathing difficulties caused by the mould.
The family is currently occupying the two-bedroom apartment in Druid's Heath, Birmingham. The five children share a bedroom with sopping-wet bedsheets and mouldy curtains.
The couple said a leak from above has caused wet rot in their apartment and the mould has spread throughout. They are now left with a rotting toilet covered in fully-grown mushrooms, reports Birmingham Live.
