Residents of two Merseyside tower blocks who have been ordered to leave after the buildings were deemed unsafe say they feel “stuck” and “left behind”.
Hundreds of people living in Beech Rise and Willow Rise, which stand beside each other in Kirkby, received a letter from the council informing them the building was unsafe and a prohibition notice would be served after an inspection by Merseyside fire and rescue service. It is the latest revelation of the poor conditions of many privately rented dwellings and tenants’ apparent lack of rights.
