WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

Parkwood vrou says City hasn't fixed her Council roof since $23

A FAMILY from Parkwood is fearing the cold and rainy winter months ahead after part of their roof in the kitchen and toilet blew off in 2023 already and she's still waiting on the City to fix it.

Walmer Road resident Harriet Cloete, 58, said she is taking care of her frail 83-year-old mother and says that Tuesday's torrential rain has caused severe damage to parts of the kitchen and toilet of their Council home.

Harriet explains: "Part of the roof blew off during the winter months in 2023 which was caused by the wind. It is completely open now, so when it rains then the water comes into the house.

"My mother is a pensioner and that is the only income we have in the house because I do not work and her pension can't cover anything.
