The over-60s community at Walwyn Gardens in Bristol is facing a difficult situation due to incomplete building work. Residents of the supported living complex have described it as a "hell hole", with the building work by Synergize Ltd having stalled after getting underway four months ago.
James Curran, 66, has been struggling with the situation, saying that he has been unable to sleep in a month. He feels that the residents are trapped in their flats and that the safety of those in their 80s and 90s is being compromised. He has expressed his desire to move out of the complex, as he has lost hope in the situation.
The building work was meant to address some of the complaints that were made as early as 2019, when residents threatened to withhold rent. Bristol City Council apologised and promised to carry out a refurbishment, but James believes that the budget cuts have caused the plans to be scaled back.
James has also reported safety issues, such as the destruction of the garden, debris left in the flat, and walkways that flood and turn to ice when it rains. He feels that Synergize Ltd does not care about the wellbeing of the residents, and he is left feeling as if everything is crumbling around him.
Bristol City Council and Synergize Ltd have been approached for comment but are yet to reply. The residents of Walwyn Gardens are now left waiting for the building work to be completed, so that they can finally feel safe and secure in their own homes.
