WHEN THE rain falls, Frank McClean’s home and the area around it become a swimming pool.
The 79-year-old Six Men’s, St Peter, resident lives in a dilapidated house with a leaky roof and inoperable front door, a house he said he had been trying to get repaired for years.
“I spoke to the RDC [Rural Development Commission] and people came and took pictures and everything but never get back to me. When the rain falls, the roof does leak. I want help real bad but I can’t get none,” he said.
McClean lives at the end of a track which he said was almost impassable during rainy weather. He also wished there was better lighting as the area was pitch black at night. (CA)
