As a result of the strike action, and no tenant to oversee the facility, the premises have been left destitute and open to being vandalised.
“If a proper tenant isn’t found soon for these facilities, these disasters will keep on recurring,” said Humphreys.
Humphreys said that the previous tenant looked after Mississippi Blues diligently.
She said it was a matter of time before the facility was emptied due to neglect.
