Description |
Interviews and discussion with three people at the Estate Housing Office in Hulme, about the cockroach infestation in Gretney Walk tower block in Hulme, Manchester. Brenda Astrum and Paul Beech from the Housing Department and Harry Shield from the Gretney Walk Tenants' Association. They talk about what was happening to resolve the problem before the Tenants' Association was set up, the resource problems faced by the Housing Dept and the structural problems built in to the tower blocks which make it such an intractable problem. Housing Officers talk about the benefits of working with the Tenants' Association - regular meetings, liaison, communication. They also talk about the logistics of the process with the block by block treatment of all the flats affected, with three departments working together and some co-ordination problems that arose. |
