... and one on £21,000 – a month!

- By James Tozer

IAN McDermott landed the top job at the Peabody housing associatio­n – and a salary of £21,000 a month – in October last year.

He and his wife Amanda live in a £1.5million house in a leafy west London suburb.

Some Peabody tenants have complained of living in different conditions, however. Last January, Louise Harvey, 26, said her young children had been put on medication due to mould at their Peabody flat in Erith, southeast London. She said: ‘I desperatel­y needed help but felt abandoned by Peabody.’

Peabody told a local paper it was ‘sorry about the ongoing issues’.

In July, Sara Kardama, 36, said she had been rushed to hospital while 13 weeks pregnant with breathing difficulti­es – problems she blamed on mould at her Peabody flat in Pimlico, central London.

The housing associatio­n said it was trying to find her another home but there was an ‘acute shortage’.
