Residents of some blocks of flats run by Wolverhampton Homes have told Springvale's Liberal Democrat Councillors that their flats look just as if they were in Beirut.

I had no idea that the charity covers all food, care and medical costs for the dogs, so no wonder they depend on charitable giving.
