Newcastle City Council’s Incompetence Awarded: The Fight for Safe Housing Continues
Newcastle City Council Exposed for Damp & Mould Failures
Newcastle City Council ranks among the worst in Britain for damp and mould, yet tenants like Parvin are still waiting for real repairs. After months of ignored complaints, Food & Solidarity took action—delivering a Certificate of Incompetence to the council, exposing their failure to provide safe housing.
This isn’t just one case. almost 2,000 council homes in Newcastle suffer from damp, mould, and delayed repairs. If you’re facing similar conditions, you’re not alone. Join the fight for safe homes.
