“We’re not being told the whole truth”

Available for over a year

Northbrook House and Windale House in Blackbird Leys were originally built in the 1960s as sheltered accommodation. They're two of the oldest schemes in the city now used for over-60s housing. Many of the residents there, some of whom have lived in the buildings for decades, have become like family over the years. But by next April, they'll all have to move out so that the buildings, which don't meet modern construction standards, can be demolished.
