Awaab Ishak, 2, died in December 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by mould in the one-bedroom flat where he lived with his parents
The chief executive of a housing society in charge of a mouldy flat which caused the death of a young boy was paid a six-figure salary that same year.in the one-bedroom flat where he lived with his parents in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. An inquest at Rochdale Coroner’s Court into the boy’s death yesterday heard dad Faisal Abdullah had previously made complaints to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing asking them to fix the issue.
But it has now been revealed, through RBH’s financial statements for the year 2020/2021, the housing association’s chief executive Gareth Swarbrick was paid £170,000 the same year Awaab died.In a previous statement Mr Swarbrick said Awaab’s death should be a ‘wake-up call for everyone in housing, social care and health’.‘We didn’t recognise the level of risk to a little boy’s health from the mould in the family’s home.
Social housing activist Kwajo Tweneboa called Mr Swarbrick’s salary ‘disgusting’ while ‘failing to ensure a decent standard of living for those his organisation are supposed to be providing a service to’.‘Honestly, it beggars belief that this guy is still in office,’ he added. ‘He is coming here in order to explain to me why it was that this tragedy was allowed to happen.Mr Swarbrick confirmed yesterday he will meet with Mr Gove at the ‘earliest opportunity’.
