Pensioners were said to be unable to watch coverage of the Champions League final or the Platinum Jubilee after the TV aerial at a retirement flat complex stopped working.
Housing firm Riverside has apologised after residents at Dene Court, a complex of retirement apartments on Long Lane in Fazakerley, were without TV for over a week due to problems with the aerial. A relative of a resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told the ECHO that the TV stopped working on Saturday, May 28 and had not been fixed by the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
The relative said that there were a number of disappointed residents who were unable to watch Liverpool play Real Madrid in the Champions League final, as well as the Jubilee coverage a week later. The relative told the ECHO : " The vast majority of the residents in there are all at least 75, if not older. Most of them have got no way of getting out, so the TV is really important.
