    Posh block of Council Flats; not all that well managed -lift number two has not been allocated enough money to fix it since it became faulty four years ago. Many old folk have been traumatised when stuck in it; and other residents on lower eight floors have been known to use the stairs rather than use lift number two. It is said, ... there is another lift, number one; use that ! Some nusiance neighbours are not delt with adequetly and cause others to suffer; repairs are always only halfly done and leaky plumbing ruins ceilings from a leak for sometimes three floors downward. Many telephone masts on the rooftop ensure a good cell-phone reception, this is one advantage.
