Family fears for childrens lives in mould stricken council home

The family have lived in 'horrendous' conditions for a decade

A family has told STV how they fear for their children’s lives after living in “horrendous” damp and mould for almost a decade.

Alistair Stuart and Sara Martin live in a council flat in Edinburgh – they say the squalid conditions have worsened the children’s asthma and left their four-year-old with a constant hacking cough.

It comes just a month after prolonged exposure to mould was found to have caused the death of a two-year old boy in Rochdale in England, shining a light on poor social housing conditions.
