- A retired bank worker is the last person living on 'Britain's loneliest street' which is all due to be knocked down - but he's refusing to move.
Nick Wisniewski, 66, has no neighbours living beside him in 128 flats after the last of around 200 residents moved out in December.
The eight blocks of flats and other homes on Stanhope Place are all scheduled for demolition.
But Nick refuses to leave - despite the council's attempts to buy him out.
Nick says council officials have offered him £35,000 plus two years' rent somewhere else if he moves.
They want to flatten Stanhope Place, in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, and redevelop the area - but he is refusing to go.
He said the area made up of eight blocks used to be buzzing with 200 people.
But it now lies abandoned and overgrown with empty properties boarded up.
Nick claims North Lanarkshire Council's offer would not be enough to buy somewhere else.

Nick, you're a legend. Fight on for your home, brother. Don't move one inch.
Any update on his man in Wishaw ? It really does look very bleak there.
I feel bad for him being on his own now 😕
Only £35, 000 they want to give him for that place with so much outdoor space. Wow
in that area? £35k is double the value
Stick to your guns Nick - if you own the flat and they want you to move then they should offer sufficient money for you to be able to buy another similar flat
Its a shame to see this
No one notice the fake football shirt 😂 council have even taken an L off his shirt bribing him to move with it 😂
😂
i used to live there guys! i dont anymore i miss my house u can see my windows boarded up in the video :[
What's actually wrong with the buildings ?
I don't think anything is actually wrong with the buildings apart from expected wear and tear. It's been a run down area for as long as I can remember.
@@daz3745 doesn't make sense if the flats could be refurbished so people could live in them. Of course leaving them empty will only encourage damp, mould and vandalism.
@@sandrafinbar they absolutely could be refurbished but wherever there is flats in Wishaw there is trouble.
@@daz3745 ok, thanks for your answer. I'm thinking you mean the people that live there cause trouble.. All very unfortunate.
Nick , I don’t understand why families had to move out of their homes. What was the problem? And how are you not gonna pay people for what the homes are really worth?
