The father of Awaab Ishak has told the tens of thousands backing Awaab's Law their support has stopped his family 'feeling alone'. Faisal Abdullah met with housing secretary Michael Gove in Rochdale today (February 9), along with his wife Aisha Amin, close friends and legal team.
It was the latest meeting between the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) to discuss how Awaab's Law can become statute. Mr Gove told Awaab's family that the government is putting forward proposals to set time limits for damp and mould issues to be inspected and repaired, while clear information will also be provided to all tenants on their rights.
Following the meeting, Mr Abdullah thanked the Manchester Evening News, Shelter and all those who backed the Awaab's Law campaign. More than 173,000 people have signed our petition for change.
