'Blood stained' curtains and roof collapses: Striking university students share shocking accommodation photos
University students who have been staging protests against rent amid the cost of living crisis say they plan to continue their efforts despite a number of students facing disciplinary action.
The students are asking for a 30% reduction in rent for halls of residence, alongside a guarantee of no further rent increases in three years. They are also demanding a one-time £1,500 cost of living payment, no disciplinary action for protesters, a 30% refund of last October's rent payment, and to make 40% of student halls affordable.
“We are currently spending a significant amount of money on modernising our student accommodation facilities. Alongside the £90m Unsworth Park development, almost £25m has been invested in the refurbishment of Dalton Ellis and Oak House as well as the upgrading of CCTV and lighting in Fallowfield, and we are also working on a major investment and development strategy to accelerate our modernisation activities.
A group statement issued by the rent strikers also confirmed that strike action is set to continue whilst those who have faced disciplinary action will be appealing the decisions made by the University Disciplinary Panel .
