Elderly residents at a sheltered living accommodation have been without heating for the last 11 days amid the coldest temperatures seen this winter.
More than 20 people living in the block of flats at Sperrin Court in Cookstown were notified their heating would be off for ‘a few hours’ on Friday 3 March for boiler maintenance.
However, 11 days after the tenants in Co Tyrone were given a written notice of this, many of them have not had any heat or hot water in their flats, including over some of the coldest nights of the year where temperatures dropped well below zero.
