ANOTHER BLACK ROCK, ST MICHAEL FAMILY are now homeless after the house they occupied for over 40 years was demolished after they failed to comply with a court order to remove the house from the property.
On Thursday, January 12, partially blind 64-year-old Coleridge Knight and his 68-year-old cousin Edbert Gladstone Knight, of Griffith Land, Black Rock, were out in the cold after their house was demolished.
Last Thursday, 79-year-old Gwendolyn Snagg, her companion 70-year-old Goulbourne Yearwood, and son 34-year-old Fitzgerald Snagg, of Black Rock Main Road, watched the boards of their home tumble to the ground after being pushed down by a bulldozer.
