Group Chief Executive of Ocean Housing Mark Gardner told ITV News that planned improvements to the heating systems in 8 bungalows have been delayed due to the current lockdown. It has pledged to fit new ventilation systems and water tanks in the Rialton flats by the end of next year.
Members of the Rialton Community Group say they are now making a complaint to the Housing Ombudsman, in the hope of getting improvements to the properties done more quickly.
