A Shropshire woman who fought cancer today claimed she is being forced to scrub mould off walls at the home she rents from a county housing trust. Susan Tonks, of Webb Crescent, Dawley, Telford, said the medication she still takes for cancer and osteoporosis lowers her immune system. The 39-year-old said this leaves her open to easy attacks from bacteria, causing her to fall ill in an instant. She said a mouldy fungus was spreading through her home and this was a danger to her and her family. She today called for her landlord Wrekin Housing Trust to do more to help. But the trust today said appropriate action had been taken to rectify the problem and the tenant had been kept up-to-date of progress.
