A disabled army veteran living on a houseboat in Ancoats has slammed a path that leads to the area’s Marina — saying ‘it’s a state'.
Dave Marshall, 50, lives with his dog Dexter on a boat which is permanently moored on New Islington Marina. His main route access out of the area, and to get to his car, is via a path which runs alongside the doctor’s surgery.
However, the path, which is mainly made of sand, is uneven and can flood or freeze over during wet and cold weather, Dave says. A fall for him is especially dangerous though, due to injuries he sustained during his time in the military.
