Cardiff mum fears severely epileptic daughter could die just walking up the steps to her 'unsafe' home

The mother of a severely epileptic girl desperate for a safer home for her daughter has hit out at a council as she continues to wait on the housing list with what she feels is no end in sight.

Kelsey Lowery, 32, said her current social housing in Honeysuckle Close, Pentrebane, was not adequate for her family. She said the hard steps up to their flat were a health and safety hazard for her nine-year-old daughter, Hope.

Hope was diagnosed with epilepsy in January this year, and Kelsey said she had asked the council for alternative housing. But she said she was still waiting. "It is horrible not knowing when I'm going to move or even if I am going to move," said mother-of-two, Kelsey. "All I want is my daughter to have a little bit of independence. She is nine years of age." You can get more Cardiff news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
