£40K FLAT OUT REFUSAL IS NOT FAIR'

Pauline slams council for the special treatment of protest neighbour, claiming she was bullied into selling for £26k

- MIKE McQUAID

A FURIOUS woman forced to leave her condemned flat has hit out at the "special treatment" being given to a neighbour who refuses to move out.

Nick Wisniewski, 68, is the last resident in a council housing scheme due to be demolished.

Last week we revealed how North Lanarkshire Council is taking legal action after the retired bank worker refused its offers of compensation.

The authority is knocking down 428 flats in Gowkthrapple, Wishaw, and replacing them with 300 new homes.

Nick has been living alone in a derelict four-storey block for the last three years.

He refused a £40,000 offer from the council, saying he wouldn't be able to buy another flat for that price.
