A Penarth mum claims she and her young children have been left stuck indoors for months due to unsuitable council housing. Caomhie Wingren says she can’t leave her first floor maisonette with her children and a pushchair by herself while her husband is out at work.
The concrete staircase to their home is exposed to the weather so whenever it rains, the steps become slippery and wet, she says. After her GP told her she should not leave any of her children upstairs while she takes the others downstairs, the mum-of-four says her family have become “prisoners in our own home”, with no friends or family nearby who can help out during the day.
