Pensioners living in a Belfast Fold have claimed that they were left with unusable gardens and a dead wildflower area after a housing association replaced their gardener.
Once cared for green spaces where the Inverary Fold residents could celebrate birthdays, BBQ and mark events together, are now overgrown with weeds and grass reaching past their knees. While the lovingly planted wildflower has perished.
The East Belfast pensioners say their grass was last cut around two months ago, making access difficult for those with mobility issues as it reaches past their knees. Yet they say Radius Housing has still been charging each of the 41 apartments between £20-£25 a week service charge.
