Our home is full of mould... we are all getting ill

Family's plea for help over damp conditions in house

- DECLAN CAREY

A FAMILY whose home is 'riddled with mould' has pleaded with their housing association to help.

Dylan Cullen, 20, lives in a property on Otley Grove in Adswood, Stockport, with his mum Deborah Burke, 52 and 13-year-old sister.

They have lived there for the past 10 years and say damp and mould has always been an issue. But over the last few years the problem has become worse, they claim.

Mr Cullen said they first reported the problems to Stockport Homes four year ago and have sent further requests for help since then - but so far nothing substantial has been done.

He said surveyors have visited the property and advised to use mould and mildew spray, but the problem keeps coming back.
