They were living by candlelight in awful conditions, now something is being done

After the Manchester Evening News highlighted the atrocious conditions some tenants found themselves in, work is finally being carried out to make the building safe

The company said there was 'evidence of an illegal and highly dangerous connection bypassing the meter'. "But nobody knows what's going on. It's wrong, it's shameful.
