Distressing move

I am 81 years old. Only 14 months ago, my husband and I moved to 7 Saint Vincent (Weekend Herald, October 8). We were recently advised that the building we moved into is to be demolished. The occupational rights agreement we signed gives no indication that this was being considered.

We and all other residents in this building will have to vacate before demolition can proceed. We have neighbours who are in their 90s. This is a distressing state of affairs and a big worry for our families.

No doubt this is part of the company’s plan to improve services and increase revenue, but at what cost and is it fair?

Surely a more humane solution could be found?
