Awaab Ishak died after prolonged exposure to mould
A review has been undertaken by housing chiefs in Blackpool to ensure tenants are not living in damp housing conditions following the tragic death of Awaab Ishak.
Following an inquest last month into the toddler’s death, Secretary of State for Housing Michael Gove has written to all council leaders saying such a death “must never be allowed to happen again". Blackpool Council leader Coun Lynn Williams says a review of all council social housing was held in July this year in relation to tenant complaints about damp and mould.
“Blackpool Housing Company and Blackpool Coastal Housing both use external specialists to diagnose and undertake repairs where damp is evident and have recently jointly procured the services of a damp specialist to aid this process. Our service standards set out response times to inspect and diagnose problems and, where necessary, undertake remedial works and support our tenants throughout this process.
