A PENSIONER is one of the last people living in a run-down tower block which is up for demolition and she says she’s too old to find a new place.
Iris Ware, 93, moved into the Mitchell Court flats in Tonypandy, Glamorgan, Wales, in the 1960s.
She’s still living there but most people have already gone as the buildings are now described as “dilapidated” and almost “derelict” and are due to be knocked down, leaving Iris feeling isolated and alone.
Pictures show asbestos signs, scaffolding and boarded up windows surrounding her home.
Iris, who owns her flat, needs to find a new place to live, but says she has been told by the housing association Trivallis that it was only handling its own tenants living there at the moment – although staff hope to have everyone out by the end of August.
