Wirral Partnerships Homes leave residents living in unstable conditions
The WPH are undertaking major refurbishment on many of the homes in the Wirral, aiming to install over 8000 kitchens and 7000 bathrooms. However, the Wirral news has been inundated with complaints from residents saying that their houses have been left in disrepair, work was not finished and that they have been left in unstable conditions.
Many are being left with no heating in the cold months, workers aren’t coming back to finish work started and no one can get a return call from the WPH. Bidston Councillor Harry Smith has contacted the WPH, but they are not acting on his complaints, and if they are they are taking their time in doing so.
It is thought the shabby work is due to the WPH’s decreasing budget, but people should not be expected to live in these conditions and still have to pay rent.
