One of the findings of the February 2019 report, Keeping out the chill: fixing London’s cold, damp and mouldy homes, from the London Assembly Environment Committee, was that “living patterns in over-occupied households can contribute to additional moisture in the air” showing the need to prioritise overcrowded households. Since the introduction of the Warmer Homes programme in 2018, how many overcrowded households and in which boroughs have been supported with ventilation measures to reduce the negative health impacts of condensation, damp and mould?
