Mum's six-year battle to escape mould-ravaged home with soaking wet beds

A mum in a housing association flat is still waiting to move out of her mould-covered home - six years after she first reported the problem.

The mum, who has asked to not be named, lives in Newton Heath with her six-year-old daughter. The pair live in a Northwards Housing property which has been plagued by dampness under the floorboards.

Investigations by Northwards Housing contractors have found that the area underneath the floor of the property is damp.

Now, both mum and grandmother say their little one’s health is suffering.
