A man living in the the city centre tower block that had to be ‘evacuated’ over a dramatic fire safety report was left homeless on Sunday night, the Manchester Evening News can reveal.
The resident, who does not wish to be named, returned to Manchester from Europe, having spent Christmas with his family. Before he left to return to the UK, he was assured hotel accommodation would be provided for him because he is unable to stay in his flat in the Bracken House block.
However, the man arrived back in the city in the early hours of Monday morning (January 9) and went to check-in at a city centre hotel — but his booking could not be found. Property managers IPM, who oversaw the evacuation just days before Christmas and organised alternative accommodation for the 115 flats in Bracken House - on Charles Street in town - say an ‘an administrative mistake occurred at the hotel resulting in the resident in question being turned away’.
