Black mould, water pouring through the ceilings, sodden carpets, and at risk of electrocution every day. No-one should be living like this in 21st century Britain, or anywhere. And yet our investigation found Fransoy, Leroy, and other residents in South Norwood trying to survive.
Leaking ceilings, black mould, risks of electrocution: our investigation found what experts call the worst housing conditions they’ve ever seen. No one should have to live like this, but in a tower block run by Croydon Council, people have been for months

Honoured to win this award for @itvnews for the third year in a row. We owe it all to the Subpostmasters and Subpostmistresses who so generously gave us their time over the past year, having to re-tell their shocking, painful stories of injustice. We have been humbled by the families we have met whose loved ones are no longer here, their lives destroyed by the Post Office scandal.
The award for News Coverage – Home goes to @itvnews for The Post Office Scandal: ITV News Investigates #RTSAwards

Also wanted to thank @forensicgod and @RonRwarming aka Second Sight - two more heroes of this sorry, scandalous saga. To steal the words of @johnrayitv - “they are number crunchers. Bean counters. And to hundreds of persecuted people, saviours.” itv.com/news/2024-06-18/the-…

Honoured to win the Royal Television Society award for News Coverage for a second year in a row, this time for our investigation into the Post Office. It was and is a privilege to cover, and to stand on the shoulders of great reporters who first exposed this scandal.

Terry Walters compensation offer for the Post Office scandal came through too late. It arrived just days after he died last month. Far less than what he'd claimed for, too. I've been speaking to his widow, Janet, before his funeral today. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2er…

Breaking: Scotland’s Lord Advocate has ordered Police Scotland to begin a full investigation into the circumstances of Demi Hannaway’s death. It follows the exposure of multiple failures in the original investigation. @itvnews
Today Demi’s family will meet the Lord Advocate, Scotland’s head of prosecutions. They believe their daughter died in a ‘staged suicide’ and they want the investigation to be reopened. Did police fail to identify signs of a suspicious death?

Saddest of days for us at UTV with Ken Reid's death. He was the master, a brilliant role model who set standards. When Prime Ministers talked about Northern Ireland they talked to Ken. He had the true inside track, making him probably the most trusted journalist here. @UTVNews
