A retired soldier who’s “absolutely poverty stricken” has slammed Leeds City Council for housing him in a flat "not fit to live in", while he’s terrorised by local yobs who’ve shot at his window and smeared faeces all over his front door.
Paul Sheard, 67, says his council flat in Seacroft is “derelict” and mouldy. He’s been living there since 2009 and claims the council has not kept promises to improve the building.
As a “vulnerable” elderly man, the ex-army officer thinks he ought to be better looked after. Paul has covered his decaying flat in art but the mould still finds a way to gnaw through his huge swirling and brightly coloured art pieces.
