A man who lives alone on an abandoned estate is refusing to move homes - despite all eight blocks of flats around him soon to be knocked down.

Nick Wisniewski, 66, is the last man standing on 'Britain's loneliest street' after around 200 residents moved out in December.

All 128 flats on the council estate in Scotland are now due for demolition as the council plans to redevelop the area. But retired bank worker Nick wants to stay put in Stanhope Place in North Lanarkshire - even after the council's attempts to buy him out.

Nick claims council officials offered him £35,000 plus two years' rent to move somewhere else, but after living in his flat since 2017, he worries he doesn't know where he will end up next.
