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 ahead.
Selma 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 homes.
Bristol 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 House.
Hundreds 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.
