    Problem with those new builds on the waterfront is their proximity to sewage works, when they open their vents (often) the smell is overbearing , this development, sadly, is doomed.

      Your are correct, they stink!! I used to rent one in east float quay on the ground floor, the smell is so unbearable, I think it will most probably be just another white elephant.

      The works are close by,the smell is dreadful in the morning when the kids get home from school and of a night 10pm onwards.
      The reason being people getting up to go the loo,the old Victorian sewers cant cope so back up,and when it does make the sewage works all at once it knocks the crust off and the smell is shocking and will be worse once these flats are built.

    • @simonsenliam
      @simonsenliam  9 місяців тому +3

      Well in gaz you stuck around to the end. I would start focusing on eating in 6 hour windows each day. So if you start eating at 12 stop at 6pm, or 11 stop at 5. Then make sure you have at least 16 hours between the time you eat. Sleep counts as hours so get started when you can have a early night and a bit of a sleep in. Then don't eat breakfast when you wake you have a couple of really good hours of energy when you wake.

    haaaaa!!!! are you actually joking! have you seen the migrant hotels, many have been placed in 4 star new build hotels with gyms and leisure facilities! look at the hotels they are in, in Heathrow, one of them is The Atrium Heathrow opposite the BA training site, rooms prior to the contract were £241 per night. So there is no way in hell, the old building of The Central hotel would be good enough!!! There is so much poverty in Merseyside, and I dont think migrants should be placed in such deprived areas personally. We have many children living in poverty already here, there are charities that are so over stretched and services are very much under funded. Well done for walking such a long distance in all that wind that day! I used to rent a ground floor apartment in East Float Quay on the docks, they are freezing flats tho no gas in the building, just tall upright heaters that dont really heat up very well. Its a cold and an expensive place to heat! wonder if the new builds you showed us will be warmer!

    • @simonsenliam
      @simonsenliam  9 місяців тому +3

      Maybe they could move the locals in freeing up houses? You know they would do it if they could. Well technically they are to a degree by moving Ukrainians to band a on the property pool, basically skipping the waiting list

    • @pauldonnelly3179
      @pauldonnelly3179 6 місяців тому

      Yeah it’s a massive problem when you have locals waiting for housing and people come in and skip the queue … migrants awaiting asylum processing automatically get housing (hotels) and whilst processed asylum seekers or those waiting appeals don’t automatically get priority; in practicality they do as their circumstances usually mean they are classed as vulnerable & jump to the top of the list. I see a lot of tensions in Birkenhead already with the numbers of new arrivals and it’s going to get worse
