A petition launched in the memory of Awaab Ishak, the toddler killed by breathing in mould which plagued his family's one-bedroom flat in Rochdale, has topped 100,000 signatures just six days after being launched. It is calling for a new law to prevent any more children dying from damp and mouldy conditions in social housing.
Launched by the Manchester Evening News and housing charity Shelter, Awaab's Law would compel housing associations not to allow anyone else to live in the uninhabitable conditions like the toddler suffered for so long.
