Summary
Leicester City Council is in crisis as 700+ homes suffer from ignored damp and mould, violating Awaab’s Law — a new mandate requiring landlords to fix health hazards within strict deadlines. Residents are furious, councillors warn this affects vulnerable lives, and the council admits it’s falling short — even after a recent £1,300 fine for mishandling a complaint. With a second phase of the law looming, the pressure mounts for faster repairs and safer housing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
