‘Mould nightmare' in Leominster social housing
A Herefordshire mum hits out at her housing association for the state of her home. Our reporter Tom Edwards paid her a visit.
Imagine living in a house where there's holes in the roof, mould is caked along the ceilings, covers your windows, your bedsheets - where things are so bad, your children are having to sleep on the floor downstairs.
That's exactly the experience of Leominster's Kerry Layton, who says it's making her children "constantly ill". She's been trying to get her housing association - 'Stonewater' - to either sort the problem out or find her somewhere else to live, for several months and says nothing is being done.
Stonewater have given us a statement saying they "understand Kerry's frustrations".....they say they've agreed a date to erect scaffolding around the property to work on the loft, and they've "reached out to Kerry" to arrange an immediate treatment of the mould, after our intervention.
