Residents in tower blocks in Grays describe the damp and mouldy conditions they're having to live in, which they say have resulted in breathing problems for them and their young children.

The mould has also destroyed furniture and carpets, and has led to residents' energy bills rising sharply.

Cladding was removed from the six tower blocks on the Seabrooke Rise estate in spring 2021. Residents say the mould appeared after the cladding was taken down, but the councillor in charge of housing for Thurrock Council says "for the vast majority of cases" the mould pre-dates the cladding removal.

Full statement from Councillor Luke Spillman, Cabinet member for Housing on Thurrock Council:

鈥淲e take every single report of damp and mould very seriously. However such reports remain extremely sporadic within all six blocks, with the vast majority of cases resulting from causes not related to the removal of the cladding. Many reports pre-date the removal of the cladding.

鈥淓very case will be treated on its merits with suitable repairs and resolutions applied in a timely fashion. I ask any resident unsatisfied with the council鈥檚 efforts to resolve damp and mould in their property to contact me directly. I will personally take on their case and make representations directly to senior management in the housing department.

鈥淚n addition to investing 拢11 million in the refurbishment of these six blocks, the council will continue to monitor and mitigate any negative impact related to the temporary removal of the cladding.鈥�
