A domestic abuse survivor who has been living in a damp and mouldy flat in Birmingham since 2017 has accused the council of ignoring her pleas to leave. Amin [not her real name], said she had developed asthma after her son and daughter were diagnosed with the condition earlier this year. Three agencies, including the NHS, have written to authorities to urge them to move the family for their health.A spokesperson said it was taking all cases "extremely seriously" and had asked contractors to prioritise the completion of planned treatment works by August.The mould has returned in several rooms and is present across walls and carpets"I'm really bad to be honest, I'm more worried now than ever before, because I now have asthma too.
"Day by day, my children's health isn't improving, my daughter has had an ambulance here twice after asthma attacks."Professionals from a GP surgery, local hospital and education provider have all urged housing officials to consider moving the family from the high-rise property.
