Last person living on 'Britain's loneliest street' refuses to move | SWNS
A retired bank worker is the last person living on 'Britain's loneliest street' which is all due to be knocked down - but he's refusing to move.
Nick Wisniewski, 66, has no neighbours living beside him in 128 flats after the last of around 200 residents moved out in December.
The eight blocks of flats and other homes on Stanhope Place are all scheduled for demolition.
But Nick refuses to leave - despite the council's attempts to buy him out.
Nick says council officials have offered him £35,000 plus two years' rent somewhere else if he moves.
They want to flatten Stanhope Place, in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, and redevelop the area - but he is refusing to go.
He said the area made up of eight blocks used to be buzzing with 200 people.

German Shepherd Khan. A hero dog who saved his handler from drowning after being ‘conscripted’ into the British Army. The dramatic rescue happened after Corporal Muldoon's landing craft was bombed by German forces defending Walcheren Island, in the Netherlands.
Strathaven (pronounced ‘stray-ven’) displays its medieval origins in its Common Green, a market square around which the town is laid out. The town centre still holds a number of craft and gift shops, and there is a garden centre and auction market. Strathaven was home to a brewery until it was destroyed by fire in 1847. Strathaven Ale is now brewed nearby in Craigmill. Each year in August the town holds a Balloon Festival, the only hot air ballooning event of its kind in Scotland. Bus services connect the town to local destinations such as East Kilbride, Hamilton and Larkhall, which has the nearest train station.
The town also holds a variety of historical places of interest. Strathaven Castle is thought to have been built in the mid-14th century. The remaining ruins sit atop a rocky crag surrounded by Powmillon Burn and can still be seen today. According to local legend, Strathaven Castle is home to the ghost of the White Lady, a lord's wife who was walled up alive by her husband. The castle is linked to the town by the 'Boo Backit Brig', a small arched bridge, and the old Town Mill which stands next to it is now a Arts and Heritage Centre. Strathaven Park has a miniature railway which runs at weekends during the summer. East Church, built in 1777, is known for its landmark spire and was the place of worship for the Duke of Hamilton who maintained a summer home nearby at Dungavel House. Strathaven also contains Lauder Ha', a mansion built by renowned Scottish entertainer Harry Lauder upon his retirement. A short walk from the town is the Spectacle E'e waterfall.
Drumclog Monument sits around five miles out of the town and marks the site were the Battle of Drumclog was fought in 1679. Strathaven is also home to the Covenanters’ Trail, which visits many historic sites situated around the town, including the graves of William Gordon, William Dingwall, John Barrie and William Paterson, Auchengilloch Monument and the Trumpeter's Well.

A retired bank worker is the last person living on 'Britain's loneliest street' which is all due to be knocked down - but he's refusing to move.
Nick Wisniewski, 66, has no neighbours living beside him in 128 flats after the last of around 200 residents moved out in December.
The eight blocks of flats and other homes on Stanhope Place are all scheduled for demolition.
But Nick refuses to leave - despite the council's attempts to buy him out.
Nick says council officials have offered him £35,000 plus two years' rent somewhere else if he moves.
They want to flatten Stanhope Place, in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, and redevelop the area - but he is refusing to go.
He said the area made up of eight blocks used to be buzzing with 200 people.
But it now lies abandoned and overgrown with empty properties boarded up.
Nick claims North Lanarkshire Council's offer would not be enough to buy somewhere else.

Lanark was granted its royal charter by King David I in the 12th century and two centuries prior to that it became home to the first Scottish Parliament. The town's St Nicholas Parish Church has what is believed to be one of the oldest church bells in the world. The Lanark Museum tell the story of a town whose annual highlight is Lanimer Day in June when the old burgh boundaries are checked and the Lanimer Queen is crowned in a well-established custom. The celebrations are based on King David I granting Lanark the status of Royal Burgh. A condition of the charter stated that the merchants of the town must inspect their boundary stones each year. Lanark claims to have carried out this duty every year since then in what has transformed into the Lanimar celebrations.
Lanark Museum, which houses a collection of items which illustrate the history of the town, is housed in the YMCA building. Other places of interest include Lanark Loch and Castlebank Park, which houses the former site of Lanark Castle. Nearby to Lanark is the World Heritage Site of New Lanark, the Falls of Clyde, Corehouse Nature Reserve and Corehouse Estate, where the remains of Corra Castle can be seen. The town has a vibrant high street with a selection of independent and high street shops as well as a variety of restaurants and cafes.
Bus services connect Lanark to the surrounding area and larger towns such as Motherwell, East Kilbride and Glasgow. The town's train station provides links to several destinations including Glasgow, Uddingston and Cambuslang. Lanark is easily accessible by road via the A721 and A71.

The Royal Burgh of Lanark is a bustling market town located in the beautiful lower Clyde Valley. It is a popular visitor destination, and the town has a strong agricultural tradition and is home to one of the busiest agricultural markets in Scotland. St Kentigerns Church is one of the few remaining Scottish buildings of the 13th Century and is still accessible today. Download the Lanark Heritage Trail to enjoy a walking tour of the town.
Lanark is firmly on the national William Wallace trail as the place where the story began through his love for his wife. Wallace's wife is rumoured to have been killed in Lanark and St Kentigerns church may have been where Wallace was married.
The historic burgh of Lanark was the location of the first meeting of the Scots Parliament in 978. Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times, and King David, I made it a Royal Burgh in 1140. A few hundred years after the first Scots Parliament took place in Lanark, William 'Braveheart' Wallace resided in the town. There are tributes to Wallace's fight for freedom in Lanark.
In 2005, the nation commemorated the 700th anniversary of the execution of William Wallace with a Wallace festival where the spirit of Wallace was brought back home to rest in Lanark at St Kentigerns.
During medieval and early modern times, the church played an important role in the lives of the people in Lanark. In 1688, as St. Kentigern's church (which dates back to the 13th century) was becoming a ruin, the Parish Church of St. Nicholas became the main church in Lanark. The Church was originally a medieval chapel during the time of William Wallace, and the current building was completed in 1774.
Disagreements in the Church of Scotland resulted in "the Disruption" of 1843. Evidence of these splits exists in Lanark, where there are now a number of church buildings, including St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, which opened in 1859. St. Mary's was later rebuilt (1907) following a fire.
The nineteenth century saw the improvement of transport links with Glasgow and Edinburgh, allowing Lanark to build upon its position as a market town and, later, as a commuter town. Lanark escaped the worst of the Industrial Revolution as the area has little in the way of minerals.
The primary trades in Lanark, as it headed towards the twentieth century, were craft trades such as weaving, shoe making, and farming. The latter is still a significant feature of the Lanark area - agricultural markets are still held in the town every Monday.

Lanark is a small town in the central belt of Scotland. The name is believed to come from the Cumbric Lanerc meaning "clear space, glade". Lanark is traditionally the county town of Lanarkshire, though there are several larger towns in the county. Lanark railway station and coach station have frequent services to Glasgow. There is little industry in Lanark and some residents commute to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Its shops serve the local agricultural community and surrounding villages. There is a large modern livestock auction market on the outskirts of the town.
Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times, and King David I made it a Royal Burgh in 1140, giving it certain mercantile privileges relating to government and taxation. King David I realised that greater prosperity could result from encouraging trade. He decided to create a chain of new towns across Scotland. These would be centres of Norman civilisation in a largely Celtic country, and would be established in such a way as to encourage the development of trade within their area. These new towns were to be known as Burghs. Bastides were established in France for much the same reason.
Lanark had four town gates, West Port, East port, Wellgate and Castlegate. West Port gate was demolished in the 1770s. Visitors to the town can visit the nearby World Heritage Site of New Lanark, close to the Falls of Clyde, the Corehouse estate and the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Corehouse Nature Reserve. A large boating lake, Lanark Loch, adjoins Lanark Golf Club which has a lovely and historic 18 hole course for more experienced golf players and a 9-hole golf course. The former racecourse now offers pony-trekking activities.
This historic background forms the basis for the Lanark Lanimers celebrations, which take place each year for one week in June. Local primary schoolchildren elect a Lanark Lanimer Queen and court; and a Lord Cornet is chosen from local businessmen. On the Monday night the Perambulation of the Marches takes place, when townspeople turn out to walk around half the town boundary, following the Lord Cornets past and present as they inspect the border-stones. Traditionally, the townspeople carry "birks", which are small branches of birch trees cut from the woods at the Glenburnie estate.
William Wallace is one of the most notable people in Lanark's history. A key leader in the Scottish Wars of Independence, he is known to have first "drawn his sword to free his native land" in Lanark in 1297, killing the English sheriff Haselrig. First year pupils at Lanark Grammar School study Wallace and the Wars of Independence in detail. An 8-foot statue of Wallace sits on St Nicholas Church at the town cross dating back to 1817 which was sculpted by Carluke man Robert Forrest.
