Flood leaves flats at thieves' mercy

Bethan Dorsett

THE College Bank tower blocks could become a ‘thieves’ paradise’ since a flood wiped out the security system.

That was the claim from a councillor who has been inundated with complaints from tenants over the failure of CCTV cameras and the intercom system.

   "We would like to reassure residents that to date there have been no breaches of security."

Hmmm what about the fact that the doors to one of the blocks (both ground floor and basement) have been jammed open for a good week or so, the fact there are more and more groups of kids drinking and taking drugs in the stairwell, the fact that Tentercroft stairs have been covered in graffitti in the last month or 2....

These flats were just getting to be a decent place to live, clean and tidy, with decent residents. It seems they are being left to go back to how they used to be all those years ago.

The poor caretakers work raelly hard to keep them looking there best only for kids to get in scrawl all over the walls, urinate in the stairwells and leave cans and bottles all over the place!

Rant over
