A disabled man has claimed he feels unsafe in his own home due to the harassment and abuse he is experiencing. Robert said he is so worried about being attacked that he has a hidden camera in his studio flat, and also records on his phone every time he leaves his flat.
The 48-year-old has now dropped out of college, lost weight and struggles to sleep because of the persistent bullying he faces, he claims. Robert said that the problems started in February and that he feels the situation is escalating and getting worse. However, Robert fears that his landlord, the police and the council will not act until something bad happens.
Robert - who said he is not able to work due to a back problem and is now classed as disabled - moved to Imperial Apartments in March 2021, after being referred there by the council. A council review into the controversial development in Hengrove found last week that the site is "suitable for many families with children".
