The heartbroken family of Awaab Ishak have issued a powerful response to the Rochdale housing boss refusing to step down.
Chief executive of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), Gareth Swarbrick, finally apologised to the family on Thursday evening (November 17), more than two days after Awaab's inquest concluded.
Coroner Joanne Kearsley ruled that Awaab had died aged two after prolonged exposure to mould, leading to fatal breathing difficulties. She described the case as a 'defining moment' for the housing sector in how it deals with damp and mould.
