'I've not been able to eat, sleep or focus'

A Leeds family says their seven-year-old little girl has 'fallen ill' after mould has grown up the walls and into the beds of their family home.

Her seven-year-old daughter has been given antibiotics by the doctor after falling ill. Thankfully Leane's mum lives on the same street and was able to take in her baby girl and seven-year-old daughter. "At the minute it's a hazard due to the cramped space and damp and mould in the bedroom. I suffer with my mental health as it is and this is making life extremely difficult as it has split my family up until the problem is sorted."

"The surveyor Tony stated that it's a health and safety risk and poses a serious risk to my children's health. Leane added: "There is a foisty musty smell in the bathroom and main bedroom where the children stay. They tell me it is disgusting. A Leeds City Council Spokesperson said: “The tenant contacted Leeds housing department in early January 2023 with a report of damp and mould in their home. Prior to this, the last report of damp and mould at the property was in 2016.

Ombudsman finds Leeds council left tenant in damp homeLeeds City Council apologises as the Housing Ombudsman criticises its handling of a water leak. Anyone from Leeds Council doing the honourable thing? “When contractors did arrive, they were only tasked with removing units and fitting thermal boarding, which the resident refused as he did not believe it would fix the problem” Dampness is caused by condensation mainly. Thermal boarding and ventilation is main solution. But councils dont own housing stock? They only police the landlords and it appears this is the case, its because the landlord has decieved the council lying about repairs and claiming they had been completed the landlord has even lied to the ombudsman who took 8 months to realise
