Last week, the story of a 75-year-old woman, disabled due to a stroke, and her 44-year-old daughter went viral. It was due to the fact that they were living in a flat beset with mould.
One of thousands owned by Birmingham City Council and rented to people across the city, it, like many, is in poor condition. Despite the best efforts of the council's repair teams, there are long waiting lists to rectify problems.
The story of the mum and daughter here was first covered by Birmingham Live in January. At that time, it was described as probably the worst flat in Birmingham.
