Please provide me with your number so I can call you. DM unsuccessful. So far we have been told we will have a response to our concerns about the way this has been handled within 24 hours but sewer may not been closed/ fixed until Wednesday. Prefer sewer to be responded to ASAP.

So if I want to see my poorly mum, were time is of the essence, I can’t stand in her private garden and talk through the glass whilst she is in her conservatory but if she had the strength to be taken (where other people congregate) to a park or pub serving food I can see her....
