'My baby turned blue because the mould in our house is so bad - but housing association refused to fix it'
BABY Jenson lets out cries of pain between gulps of breath, struggling to pull air into his little lungs as he lies on his back.
The walls run with water when it rains, silverfish swarm under the downstairs carpets, the kitchen cupboards are rotten and the family’s mattresses have to be wrapped in plastic because of mould. “We had evidence from Environmental Health, our own suveyor, GP, hospital letters, all saying that it was severely impacting health,” said Amanda. “It was a really strange situation to be in because they would not accept what all the other external agencies were saying.”
However, Steve claims that while the mould was removed, no structural repairs were made and the walls still ran with water, meaning the mould was beginning to return as soon as they moved back.
