People living in a high-rise council housing block in Leeds 'plagued' by issues have shared their frustrations and despair as they criticised their current living conditions.
Residents at Burnsall Grange in Armley have told the YEP of issues including antisocial behaviour, problems with lifts and broken 'promises' over plans to install a long-delayed heating system upgrade. One resident said: 'We have been expecting this and paying over £350 a month for electric heating. 'Despite the promises the council has now said that it is being pushed back another year.
“We recognise that effective heating is an important factor in controlling damp and mould in the home and we would encourage residents to visit our dedicated webpage for practical advice and support on this matter. During the winter months, we worked with partners to support residents living in fuel poverty by issuing over £400,000 in free energy vouchers which included supporting 10 families in the Burnsall Grange block.
