Chelsea Davidson in the communal area of Silverweed Road

Transcript

00:00 It's been a social little yard. We've had barbecues, we've had birthday parties,

00:05 we've even had little wedding parties down in the yard.

00:07 And now MHS are telling us they've given me seven days from last Thursday the 30th

00:14 to remove my swimming pool, to remove all my toys that are in the yard at the moment,

00:19 to remove our tables and chairs. We're not allowed barbecues, we're not allowed to have fun.

00:24 It's not allowed to be a communal yard.

00:27 I will be saying now that as of once they come out Thursday, I will be re-erecting my

00:34 swimming pool because my children want to have fun. The children on the balcony need the fun.

00:38 We haven't got nothing around this area for the kids. The only thing we ever get is come the

00:44 holidays and you might have the occasional Easter club or the occasional club at the school,

00:49 but nothing that socialises the teenagers or the youngsters that need to have fun.

00:54 And this is what we do here. My wedding plans have gone out the window thanks to MHS.

01:01 I'm due to get married on the 8th of August this year. I've been together with my partner

01:06 19 years now. It's taken us this long with lack of money and everything.

01:09 But in all logic, 19 years together is good. But MHS is now saying I cannot have my wedding

01:17 reception in my communal yard because it doesn't justify the rights of the communal yard.

01:23 I'm not allowed friends. I'm not allowed family. I can't have a barbecue. All the wedding is paid

01:29 for. Even my buffet food from Street Angels is paid for. They're willing to come and help me

01:35 with my buffet. So I don't understand why MHS is stopping us from enjoying this.
