It is worth noting that the person with significant control over the company Beyond Infrastructures Limited is John Anthony Murphy, who happens to be a tax exile living in the Isle of Man.

I walked past redstone house one evening walking my dog. I had a piece of rubbish to get rid of, just litter like a crisp bag. I saw their bin cupboard doors were wide open and so I thought I’d put it in the bin there. I was in absolute shock that when I saw in the bin, literally hundreds of rats, it looked like the floor was moving, like when indianana jones landed in the snake pit but instead of snakes just hundreds of rats. I kept my piece of litter and got away as soon as possible.

Is it the company’s fault? My opinion is that it is the dirty people that live within the block putting food in the bins or not even bothering putting it in the bin and just tossing it on the floor of the bin shed

Also worth noting David most of the tenants are tax exile as well and most probably all on benefits
