Episode Details

Residents on Baguley Crescent are screaming for help as an abandoned apartment block—condemned by the fire service after multiple fires—threatens their safety and sanity. With smashed windows, a crumbling roof, and rampant vandalism, the building has become a dumping ground and potential death trap, especially with reports of squatters. The local MP is demanding Bury Council act, but the council says they can’t force a purchase due to complex ownership. While individual flat owners are responsible for their units, the main freeholder, Enlightened Investments, claims they’re legally working to regain control. Longtime residents feel ignored, paying taxes for nothing while the area decays. Bury Council is stepping up with a July 24th “day of action” involving police and fire services to tackle fly-tipping and secure the site—acknowledging years of neglect fueled by absentee landlords and irresponsible neighbors, while hoping for redevelopment that could finally turn the area around.
