Robert and Alison Whiteley say they have a severe mould problem in their Nottinghamshire home.

The couple moved property to make life easier, but say they are now living with a serious mould and damp problemThe nightly cleaning routine began for Robert Whiteley four months ago when damp and mould appeared in the one-bedroom housing association flat he shares with wife Alison in Nottinghamshire.The housing association, Platform Group, has said it is working with the couple to resolve the issue.

The couple first noticed a spot of damp in the living room in July, caused by a leak above their flat and contacted the housing association.A plumber looked at the problem that month, but the dampness and mould has "spiralled" since, the couple say. Mr Whiteley say the pull chord in the living room began going off at random intervals, and all the chords have now been switched off - leaving him "helpless" in an emergency."I struggle to walk, I use crutches and I can't use the stairs," said Mr Whiteley. "My ankles are crumbling away.""As the system is broken, if I were to have a fall and my wife was not in, what would I do?"We feel neglected by them.
