I put up some wood panelling in the hall, it’s looking really nice."I had to get a new cooker too, so all in I think it costs me between £1,500 and £2,000.

I'm not worried about spending money on the flat because I think I am going to be here for a while, I have still heard nothing from the council."If they want me to go they need to get in touch with me.

The last time I spoke to anyone from the council about it was November 2021, it’s absolutely shocking."The former bank worker had stern words for people using the car park as their own personal "s**t tip", adding.
