A Leeds family says their seven-year-old little girl has 'fallen ill' after mould has grown up the walls and into the beds of their family home.

Mum-of-three Leane Thompson says she "cannot sleep" in her Leeds Council flat in Spring Close Walk where her children have to sleep in one room and the bathroom is "unusable". Black mould is growing through her windows, into the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.

Leane is a full-time carer to her disabled seven-year-old daughter with complex needs, who was told by the doctors the condition of the house is has had a "significant impact" on her health. Leane said: "I cannot sleep or eat worrying about my children's health. The mould is making life extremely difficult and has split up my family."
