The Rochdale-based housing association at the centre of the Awaab Ishak scandal has appointed a new chair as they attempt to 'rebuild trust' following the tragedy.
Kevin Brady, who started his role on Tuesday (April 18), has a 'broad range and depth of experience in both housing, central and local government,' according to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH). In a statement, Mr Brady spoke of the 'huge challenges' faced by the organisation, but said he was 'delighted' to take on the job.
The association has faced harsh criticism after the tragic death of Rochdale toddler Awaab Ishak, who died aged two after becoming ill from prolonged exposure to mould and damp in his RBH-managed flat.
