FOR 78-year-old Barbara Beagan, the last few months inside her Cooks Hill unit have been "almost unbearable".

Ms Beagan has lived in the unit, managed by the NSW government, for around a decade. A long-time-asthma sufferer, she says for the last five years debris and fine dust particles have been falling from the ceiling.
