‘A disaster from the word go’

WHEN Ray Murphy looks out the window of his home every morning, he can see a shell of an unfinished house which was set on fire a couple of years ago.

Junk, old pipes and other assorted rubbish are also within sight for Ray and his neighbours who all moved into what should have been an idyllic development in picturesque Lismore in the last five or six years.

The Mills is about three minutes’ walk from the centre of the heritage town and comprises about 40 houses, finished and unfinished, and has been described as “a disaster from the word go” by resident Ray Murphy.
