Mum and son with asthma claim they've spent 15 years living in a damp and mouldy council home

A mother with asthma claims she and her son's health has been badly affected by damp and mould within their rented accommodation.

Chloe Griffiths claims she has lived in her property for more than 15 years and each winter she is faced with mould and damp throughout her home, which is having an impact on her and her 15-year-old son's physical health.

Chloe, 34, lives with her partner Vinney, 45, and her son Devontae, 15, in a flat owned by Cardiff council in Pentrebane. The issue has become "unbearable" for the family of three, Chloe claims, and damp and mould is visible in every room of her flat as "the walls are completely black." They have even experienced cabinets falling off the wall in their kitchen due to the damp.
