This place is disgusting no one should be there. My friend is currently staying there with no food and water resulting him having a sore stomach. They're sleeping right now and he's pretty much dying with no food for 6 days and only drinking bathroom tap water which is making him ill. I've tried everything, police are a joke, ambulance are a joke and nhs 24 are a joke!
