The ground floor forecourts had lighting that was not maintained, and once the bulbs had burnt out, these areas were often left in darkness during the hours of darkness, the only illumination was from the street lighting above — if any. The forecourts have never been inspected by the council, so broken paving slabs, missing drain covers and pot holes often left tenants at risk of personal injury.
Lots of grass and weeds grew out of the cracks and crevices making the forecourts look untidy and unmaintained, reminiscent of the slums of Old St Ann’s of yesterday-year.
