A mum says she and her family suffer from breathing problems after living in a mouldy house that ‘hasn’t been fixed for 16 years’. Sharon believes the damp is to blame for medical issues that have led her daughter Nia to drop out of her dance academy.
Nia has been an award-winning dancer and an athlete, but breathing issues have ‘knocked her right back’
She said issues first appeared not long after she moved into the house, located in the eastern suburb of Gipton, in 2007. She said the problems persisted as she brought up her three kids in the property, which is run by housing association Places for People.Sharon first started to notice the mould soon after she moved in
‘She’s been bullied due to her really bad eczema, to the point where I’ve had to recently pull her out of school and see if she can be tutored at home.’Nia had been getting top grades in school, Sharon said, but now her education is ‘suffering’ as she tries to get the marks needed to take a place she’s been offered at the West Yorkshire city’s Notre Dame College.‘Not only that, but she was a very good athlete as well.
