THE family of Awaab Ishak has called for the entire board of their social landlord to resign, warning that tenants remain “in danger” as long as the current leadership is in place. 

Speaking after a meeting with Housing Secretary Michael Gove, the family’s lawyer Christan Weaver told reporters that they had “no confidence” in the board of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), which owned the mouldy flat that killed their son. 

Awaab died at the age of two in December 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by mould in a one-bedroom housing association flat in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
