Other residents have decided to leave their homes, with one staying with family 50 miles away on Merseyside.

“I’m having to shower at work or go to the gym to shower,” the 26-year-old, who shares a £1,900-per-month flat with two friends, said.

“In terms of temperature, last night was the worst it has been. I have woken up really ill.”

Another renter, who pays £1,700 monthly, said they would have to get a hotel for the weekend.

“It’s getting to -7C and that’s miserable. It’s a practical solution I have access to but many don’t,” the 39-year-old said.

One landlord who owns a property in the building has called for more support from RMG, which runs the block.

“They said they would provide a heater. What about the hot water? People cannot shower or have a hot wash,” he said.
