Man who lives in boat says he faces moving out due to state of footpath that's not been fixed for MONTHS

A disabled army veteran has slammed the state of a path by his home and fears he will have to move out of his area because of it.

Dave Marshall, 50, lives in a narrow boat on New Islington Marina. Previously, he told the Manchester Evening News that a footpath, which runs from the marina to Old Mill Street, is the ‘bane of his life’.

At the time, Plumlife — the company which owns and manages the area around the marina — said it was working with the ‘marina operator’ to fix the path, which is uneven so it ices over and floods during winter weather. However, Mr Marshall says work has not been done to remedy the issue.
