Adele Clarke, a mother of two in Gloucestershire, is speaking out about her concerns regarding the safety of her garden. Since moving into her home in Winchcombe last November, she has encountered numerous challenges related to the advertised flat garden, which has turned out to have a dangerous steep slope.
Expressing her distress, Clarke highlights the health hazards posed by the steep terrain, particularly for her disabled child. Despite being assured that the issue would be rectified, she has faced disappointment as the housing association has shifted its stance, leaving her feeling unsupported and in a state of distress.
She emphasizes the lack of compliance with building regulations and recounts her struggle to secure a suitable living space for her family, especially her disabled son. Clarke also details her physical injury resulting from the slippery garden surface, underscoring the urgent need for intervention to prevent further accidents.

Compounding her distress, she describes the challenges she faced in obtaining approval for a built-in trampoline to accommodate her son’s disability, only to be met with further setbacks and unfulfilled promises. Despite her attempts to seek resolutions, Clarke continues to navigate a disheartening situation, underscoring the immense impact on her family’s well-being.
In response to Bromford Housing’s statements, Clarke’s dissatisfaction is evident, as they offer alternative options that do not fully address her concerns. Despite their apologies and pledge to investigate further, the gravity of the situation remains unresolved, adding to Clarke’s anguish.
