Dunmurry tower block resident's concern over fast approaching evacuation deadline

A resident of a Dunmurry tower block has raised doubts over a Housing Executive plan to demolish his home ahead of a fast approaching deadline for evacuation.
The demolition is part of the Housing Executive’s £308 million Tower Block Action Plan aimed at replacing ageing tower blocks with new homes in Northern Ireland.
However, the Local Democracy Service spoke with a concerned resident 'Fergus' this week who remains in private rented accommodation at the Rathmoyne and Coolmoyne estate.

He said: "The Housing Executive has been messing me about for ages now. There are not too many of us now living in the towers and we'd probably all know each other.
"I certainly don't think that they'll have everyone out of here by the end of July. There has certainly been a lack of communication with the residents, especially those who are private renters like myself."
