The ‘time warp’ estate near the city centre that’s been ‘left to rot’
20.08.2023 - 17:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Rats, rubbish and 'regular' drug-dealing. That's what residents living on an estate just a mile away from Manchester city centre put up with every single day.
Nestled in between Hyde Road and Stockport Road and stretching from Devonshire Street to Kirkmanshulme Lane, there are hundreds of homes on the Coverdale estate in Ardwick. Most are now owned and managed by One Manchester – but the housing association has been accused of neglecting the estate where the ill-fated concrete fortress dubbed Fort Ardwick once stood.
Tenants complain of 40-minute waits when reporting issues over the phone and with no physical offices left in the area, some say they no longer know who to turn to for help.
One Manchester said they have apologised when complaints have been made by customers. They say staff meet up regularly with councillors to address concerns. The housing association say they are investing more than £97m in repairs over the next three years on the Coverdale estate.
Catherine Thomas, who lives in Langport Avenue, says she went months without any hot water while she waited for her boiler to be fixed.

During that time, she had to boil water in pans to wash herself in the morning. In the end, she found out that all that was needed to fix it was a 'little washer'.
"It was horrible," she said. "But I just got used to it."
Catherine says she was offered £500 in compensation this week after the Local Democracy Reporting Service asked One Manchester about the issue. But she is not the only tenant complaining of long delays to get repairs done.
