A 91-year-old pensioner is having to struggle up three flights of stairs to his flat everyday as a housing trust won’t give him the empty one on the ground floor of his block.
John Curtis has lived in Milton Close in Stretford for upwards of two decades but has become less mobile in recent years. He said he can’t understand why Trafford Housing Trust, who manage the building, won’t allow him to move in downstairs.
John’s son used to live with him in his current two-bedroom apartment, but he has been on his own since his son moved out.
