Residents said some containers were made available to them to live in during the Covid-19 pandemic but they had not been able to make use of them because they were told that these containers were unusable because there was no electricity supply for them.
Despite repeated pleas to local authorities, the community feels that their concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
