Let’s Tackle Mould in Flats – Call for Air Con or Dehumidifier Units
Install air con or dehumidifier units in flats where mould is a recurring problem. Maintain units long-term so they stay effective. Review affected flats and take real action to address mould—not just surface-level repairs.
Is air con safe? Yes—when maintained, it’s great for your health. It lowers humidity (which mould thrives on) and filters out dust and pollen.
“Can it dry the air too much?”
Only if left blasting all day or set too cold. Most units are adjustable—and far better than breathing in mould.
“Do they need lots of upkeep?”
Not really. Just clean the filters now and then. A small task for a big benefit.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as making it a legal requirement for council flats to have air-conditioning or dehumidifiers when there is a recurring mould problem or for all new build flats to be fitted with air conditioning or dehumidifiers.
