Suspicious flat fire on Warwick Close that could have claimed the life of an innocent elderly lady in her 80's.
HBC had been made aware on numerous occasions that the tennant of the flat in question had been making the life of the elderly lady underneath him a misery. The tennant had got the lady so frightened that everynight she sat behind her frontdoor with her coat on in case she had to get out quick, only this time they waited for her to go to bed and at 1am set the flat above her ablaze.
The tennant in question was on licence from Prison with a tag on. Caused nothing but trouble from the 1st day he arrived on the street. From drunken brawls, loud music, shouting and generally putting windows through.
Good riddence to evil crap i say, pity HBC didnt intervene though. Still their mistake will cost them dearly. The blaze damaged 4 flats ! The old lady has lost everything she owned. Lets hope that she will get some compensation and that it wont take years to come through. She is physically ok from the fire but i dont know how she is emotionally.
I also feel for those who are trying to sell their properties around the flats ! who's going to want to buy with a view like that.

Why dont HBC listen ... or is it a case of Contour Housing are taking over and they can deal with the problems then !

So angry
HBC Tennant ...
