00:00I feel that I should not be in this property.
00:04It is not fit for purpose due to my disability.
00:08I would like to be put into some sort of suitable accommodation which is more...
00:13Ground floor?
00:14Ground floor, minimum, minimum.
00:17These properties are designed for single, able-bodied people.
00:23They are not designed for disabled people.
00:26I struggle to get in and out of my front door
00:31because there's just about that much to get me in and out.
00:37I actually had some friends come round here one time to come and see me
00:41and when they left here they actually got caught in the lift
00:47and it broke down and they had to phone the fire service to get them...
00:53because they were caught in between floors.
00:56And my friend phoned me up to say, like,
01:00we're stuck in the lift.
01:01I said, mate, what problem is it?
01:04What do you want me to do?
01:06It has broken down in the past
01:10and I used to...
01:12Obviously I've got no access or ingress to this building
01:16so I had to really rely on the food bank people to deliver me some groceries.
