Life in one city centre apartment block is just 'a disaster waiting to happen', a former insider has said, amid fears for residents' security.
Tenants in Bracken House, on Charles Street, have been blighted by break-ins and vandalism, as well as not having a working lift for four years. The Manchester Evening News spoke to a man who used to work with the building's maintenance teams as well as an ex-tenant.
Both said that the lift had been out of action for years. They also spoke about a raft of other problems, including hot water not being available to residents.
