Social housing residents in Shropshire have said a delayed refurbishment project on their homes is making their families ill.

Work on Sandpits Avenue and Sandpits Close in Ludlow started two years ago, but was disrupted by a change of contractor.

Tenants said shoddy workmanship had left holes, gaps and draughts at a time when bills were rising, including their rent and heating.

Landlord Connexus has apologised, but said it was committed to the 拢6m project to improve items like windows and insulation.

In a statement, Connexus said: "To get back on track, our new contractor has been on site completing work on properties where it had already started, as well as on five empty homes which will be completed in the next few weeks."

It added that it had written twice to tenants to explain the delay, and would continue to keep customers updated as work progressed.
