 which she said meant she was lower down the list. She said Trivallis had found her accommodation in a new block of flats in the centre of Tonypandy, but they won't be ready until January and she is worried they will go back on their word, and is also fearful of having to move twice. She said there were only five flats still occupied at Mitchell Court, making her feel like she was living in the block of flats alone. She said she felt 'sort of isolated' and was scared of the winter coming and being on her own. 'They want){kind=link}
Iris Ware says she feels isolated and alone in her flats which are destined to be demolished and she says she’s can’t go out and hunt for a new place to live like other residents
A 93-year-old woman who is about to be living alone in soon-to-be-demolished crumbling block of flats says she fears for her future.
Pensioner Iris Ware was among the first people to move into Mitchell Court flats in Tonypandy, south Wales, back in the 1960s. Now, she’s one of the last living in what have been described as âdilapidated’ and almost âderelict’ looking buildings there. She has been left feeling isolated and alone. Mitchell Court is destined to be demolished with asbestos signs, scaffolding and boarded up windows there for all to see.
Iris owns her flat and needs to find somewhere new to live, but said she had been told by housing association, Trivallis, that it was only dealing with its own tenants living there at the moment, although it plans to have everyone out by the end of August, Wales Online report.
Trivallis said it had worked closely with its tenants and leaseholders to ensure “appropriate care and support is provided as we try to prepare the building for demolition”. But in terms of finding a new roof over her head, Iris said: “I can’t go out and look for myself.” She said Trivallis had categorised properties in bands, with band A considered as being in the highest priority need for new housing.
