Good luck with the one bedroomed Bungalow Margaret.
Harwood is not a bad place to live either...everything you need within easy access...better than Clayton.
Just wouldn't relish the upheaval of a move.

Anger after stairwell locks removed by Hyndburn Homes (From Lancashire Telegraph)

That was quicker than expected. They took my photo on the staircase this morning but thankfully haven't used it.(I'm not at my best in the mornings ;))

Re: Hyndburn Homes - security compromised.
 

The LT editorial staff probably got confused and thought the picture was of one of those drunk, antisocial elements you're complaining about.

Re: Hyndburn Homes - security compromised.
 

Cheeky :D but I can see the funny side of it and chuckle.
After the last few traumatic days I need to sleep a lot, but the cement mixers and styl saws will be starting up on Heys field at 8am tomorrow - Ah well 'no rest for the wicked' :rolleyes:

Thanks for the kind words:o

My landing light has just this minute been restored:D

Accy Observer have phoned today to get the story but I have declined their request for a photo. Enough is enough - I can't afford to use Max Clifford for Google Page Ranking;):D

Re: Hyndburn Homes - security compromised.

Re: Hyndburn Homes - security compromised.
 

Good for you - you have more knowledge of the antisocial behaviour on this estate.

Re: Hyndburn Homes - security compromised.
 

The mother of my disabled neighbour has phoned me tonight in a very anxious state of concern for her son's welfare.

She related detail of a fire incident in this block in the year before Brian and I moved here.
The exterior door was unlocked at night. A drunk wandered in an settled himself to sleep on some carpets in one of the landing storerooms.
He was smoking and drinking, fell asleep and set the carpets on fire.
Her son had to be rescued by the Firemen. The stairwell wall is still smokestained

Removing our ability to lock those exterior doors exposes us to a repetition of such an incident.
A rapid exit via the stairwell is hazardous when the fire is in that stairwell.

I knew that this fire had happened but she has provided me with detail.
She intends to contact the fire brigade tomorrow to remind them of their involvement when it happened.

I have one window which opens wide enough to be an exit and a tow rope readily to hand near that window. Double glazing is notoriously difficult to break and serious injury can happen whilst escaping through broken glass.

The past history of this actual fire incident demonstrates that by allowing easy public access they have increased the risk
