London council sanctioned after sick baby left to live in mouldy flat for years

Westminster council found guilty of severe maladministration in case of mother and baby living in mouldy bedsit

A mother and baby were left to live in a damp and mouldy bedsit for two years by a London council despite the child suffering from fungal rashes and the woman complaining of flare-ups of her Crohn's disease.

Westminster council has been found guilty of severe maladministration by the housing ombudsman in a damning 16-page report detailing its treatment of the young family.
