Rochdale Boroughwide Housing 'are modern day slum lords', says Heywood and Middleton MP Chris Clarkson
The MP for Heywood and Middleton called Rochdale Boroughwide Housing ‘modern day slum lords’ after their heavy criticism for their standards of social housing in the wake of two-year-old Awaab Ishak’s death. Conservative Chris Clarkson said he has been sent photographs from a house in his constituency 'caked in black mould and rising damp', showing this ‘is not an isolated incident’.
“Just this week I was sent photographs of a house in Middleton with its walls caked in black mould and rising damp. That is an RBH property and my constituent sent me a copy of her doctor’s note saying she and her children are now severely ill because of these conditions.
