Family of boy who died from mould in flat call for housing board to resign

Awaab Ishak's family say they have no confidence in the board of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing

The family of Awaab Ishak, the two-year-old who died as a result of mould in a social housing flat, have said they have no confidence in the board of the landlord body and called for their mass resignation.

In a statement on Thursday after a meeting in Rochdale with Michael Gove, the secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities, they said: While the current board remains, there is an ever present risk and danger to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing tenants."
