Labour launches campaign against damp and mould
Labour has launched a campaign to make sure everyone knows their rights to get damp and mould banned from their homes.
A new law, Awaab's Law, gives rights to council and housing association tenants. Councils and housing associations must take action over damp and mould within strict timescales.
The Labour councillors visited homes in Castle ward in Northampton to speak with residents and deliver leaflets. They'll be visiting other parts of the town in the coming weeks where it's known there are problem with damp and mould.
If you have damp or mould in your NPH or housing association home, please contact us here

We'll work to make sure no person or place is left behind.
We're the Labour councillors on West Northamptonshire Council, committed to standing up for local people and communities and making sure you get the best in services and life chances.
