A garden of her own.

The Issue

Pamela McLaughlan, 80 years of age and a COPD sufferer, has tended a small garden she was allocated 28 years ago. This was tended by 2 previous tenants as well. Wishaw and District Housing Association now claim this was their mistake and have intimated that the area will be replaced with grass. They concede that although they were in error they want the communal land to be turfed. No humanity, no compassion, no middle ground. Please show this lady that her and her blind husband show be allowed to continue tending to this plot for their remaining years, or at least until they become so unfit as to be housebound. Thank you.
