A mother has told how her baby's health is at risk because of her damp, mouldy flat.
Toni Redgrave, 25, of Gurnard Close, West Drayton, was ordered by a doctor to get her six-month-old girl, Katie Carter, out of the flat or risk seriously compromising the youngster's health.
She said: "Katie was born a healthy baby but this is the third time I've taken her to the doctor recently. I've just been crying down the phone - I don't know what to do or where to go."
The little girl has had to be given an inhaler to use.
Ms Redgrave's mother, Karen Redgrave, 45, of Rectory Close, Hayes, said: "This is my grand-daughter's health we're talking about. I'm seriously worried.
"The doctor said Toni needs to get the baby out of that flat immediately. The amount of clothes that have had to be thrown out because of the mould is ridiculous - everything in that house stinks.
"She was advised to take the wallpaper off, but it doesn't help, the damp is still seeping through.
"The baby is being sick every time she wants to put on new clothes. It is wrong for a baby to have to live like this in this day and age - she was born healthy but since she has been in that flat she has been so ill."
A spokesperson for the landlords, Thames Valley Housing, said: "We are aware that Ms Redgrave has been experiencing an ongoing problem with mould in her home.
"We have investigated this fully, carried out a number of repairs to her home and given her advice on how to prevent the build-up of condensation.
"We are committed to ensuring that our residents live in safe, well managed homes.
"Having spoken with Ms Redgrave, we have arranged to have another look at what we can do to resolve this problem for her and we have assured her that we will be doing everything we can to try resolve the cause once and for all."
