Residents in Bristol housing block told £18m refurb project not going ahead
A woman who lives in a council housing block has said she "doesn't want to go home" after residents were told a long-awaited £18m refurbishment project would not go Reid, a resident at Haviland House, in St Jude's, Bristol, said her flat leaks regularly, and is among many residents unhappy with conditions in their City Council has told residents that it is now unable to carry out planned internal refurbishment work because a survey had found that the building's structure required investment first and these works had not been budgeted for. Councillor Barry Parsons said he understood residents' disappointment but that safety was the council's priority. The scheme had been due to improve conditions inside five interlinked 1960s housing blocks - Haviland House, John Cozens House, Tyndall House, Langton House and Charleton of people who live in about 180 homes across the site were informed that the council would not be going ahead with the project earlier this month. After a long campaign from residents, the council had initially agreed to spend money on insulation, roofing and communal areas in June 2024. However, structural engineering contractor, Ridge, found that although the site was safe to live in, it required work "to ensure the continued safety of the building". The council said: "These works were not budgeted for and therefore the council has made the difficult decision to not move ahead with the full proposed refurbishment plan." Ms Reid told the BBC the council had previously "promised" to move her out of the block."They told me they were coming to refurbish my flat and they were going to move me out and refurbish it, but I haven't seen them," she said. "I used to have a leak practically every single day. I'd be in my bed at three o'clock in the morning - it's raining in my bedroom, raining in the passages, raining in the bathroom - it's raining everywhere in my flat."And what do they [the council] do? They give me £20 to turn on my humidifier."Ms Reid said she had not used her bath in more than 20 years due to the "nastiness" that comes through the added: "I don't think they [the council] care - you walk outside and the buildings look disgusting and nasty. "I come home and I don't want to come home. I want to get away from here." Ms Reid's neighbour John Dyer has lived at Haviland House for 27 years and is also unhappy with conditions in his said: "The council cancel everything and they never do nothing. It's just a mess." 'Poor conditions' Parsons said he was "sad" to hear residents' said: "People have been living with poor conditions in their council homes, especially some of our blocks, for many years now."I know what a blow it is for people to now hear we can't proceed."Unfortunately the structural survey we carried out as part of this work revealed that we need to invest in these blocks to make sure they are safe - that has to be our number one priority."Parsons said structural work would start "over the next few months", with inspections and repairs taking place in the coming weeks.

Legal expert explains who gets Liam Payne's £24.3m fortune
In a tragic twist following the untimely death of Liam Payne last October, it's emerged the former One Direction star left no will – leaving his ex Cheryl Tweedy and a top industry lawyer in charge of sorting out his multi-million-pound estate. The singer, who shared son Bear with Cheryl, reportedly left behind an estate worth £24.3 million – and now legal experts say the lack of a formal will could pave the way for potential challenges. Craig Ridge, a contentious probate lawyer at Higgs LLP, told The Mirror exactly what's happening with Liam's fortune, and what might come next. What's happening to Liam's estate? ' Liam Payne's fortune left behind is reportedly worth £24.3 million,' Mr Ridge explains. 'Alongside his successful music career, he has co-owned and co-founded various ventures, including music publishing and real estate companies. 'It has been reported that more than half of his fortune is set to go to his son, Bear, though details about the remaining portion of the estate have not been confirmed.' What about Bear's inheritance? Liam's young son, Bear – who he shared with former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl – is now expected to inherit the bulk of his father's estate. But as Mr Ridge explains, that doesn't mean the child will gain immediate access to the cash. 'In the UK, the minimum age to legally inherit directly is 18,' Ridge says. 'Assets for a minor beneficiary are held on trust until they reach that age. 'However, if there is a will, then depending upon how that will is drafted, the testator can seek to create a situation whereby a beneficiary or beneficiaries must reach a certain age beyond 18 to potentially access their inheritance. Could Liam's estate be challenged? While Liam wasn't married at the time of his death, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy may still have grounds to claim part of the fortune, Mr Ridge warns – especially given that no legal will was left. 'As Liam has not left a will, with UK intestacy rules, his son Bear will most likely claim the entire estate as there is no spouse or siblings,' Mr Ridge explains. 'However, this can be contested on certain grounds, which can often be the case in substantial estates, as seen with high-profile figures like Michael Jackson's will, Nelson Mandela's, J. Howard Marshall II and Jimi Hendrix. 'Disputes often arise when individuals feel they have been unfairly excluded or believe they received less than they need.' So could Kate Cassidy challenge the estate? 'Under UK law, individuals who were financially dependent on the deceased may have grounds to claim reasonable financial provision, even if they are not married,' says Mr Ridge. 'This means that his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, could potentially be considering a claim. Such claims are complex and subject to many legal conditions and evidential requirements. 'The challenge would need to be initiated within six months of the Grant of Letters of Administration, so time is a critical factor here.' With such a sizeable estate and a high-profile name, Mr Ridge warns that without a will, disputes are almost inevitable. 'Given the size of Liam's estate and high-profile nature of his career and death, there is always potential for disputes, particularly where there is no will to express Liam's wishes,' he said.
