A true picture

I REFER to your article printed in the Argus on 22nd May 22 under the heading "Flats a whole lot brighter and residents love it".
Firstly, you have shown a full frontal photograph of the building as it was and just a side view of the block as it is now.
Photographs do not show a true picture of how the outside of the block and individual flats have been transformed.
This does not do justice to the huge amount of work that Wates Living Space and their sub-contractors have put into improving the block both inside and out. Contractors have worked tirelessly and diligently and in a friendly and helpful manner for over 2 years and are still doing so.
The original cost quoted in the Argus on October 25, 2012, for work to the three tower blocks was in the region of £10 million. The amount stated in this article states the £12 .5 million has been spent.If this is correct then there is a £2.5 million overspend.
I would like to know why the Assembly minister for Communities and Tackling poverty and, whose constituency is Wrexham, was chosen to visit Greenwood not a minister whose constituency is Newport East - and St Julians is not a poverty stricken area of Newport.
Also, the minister met only 2 or 3 residents.
