A Hackney mum has told how she has been left feeling like “a beggar” after her council flat has been destroyed by black mould and water damage, forcing her children to spend months sleeping on sofas.

Abiodun Adebayo, 51, lives in Carey House, Hackney Downs, with her four children.

Leakage from an upstairs property left the first-floor flat riddled with severe black mould, peeling paint and plaster and electrical damage, after the family moved in in July 2018.
