Back to EpisodesMalcolm's Dilemma: Losing Home in Rochdale's Seven Sisters
Description
Malcolm Atkinson, a resident of Rochdale, faces eviction from his home of sixty years due to repair issues in the Mitchell Hey tower block. The building, part of the Seven Sisters estate, is falling apart and will not reopen after a burst water pipe forced tenants out. Malcolm, who has a vegan diet and lung condition, is struggling to find suitable housing that meets his needs. The landlord, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, claims to have done everything possible, but the sixty-year-old pipe cannot be fixed. Campaigners question the timing of the evictions amid ongoing debates over the blocks future.
