The Titerroy Neighborhood Association has criticized the Arrecife City Council for having "in a state of abandonment" the house in the neighborhood where a young man died after the roof of his house collapsed on him, in July 2009. Nearly a year and a half after the event, which occurred on Timbayba Street, the City Council walled up the house, but, according to the neighborhood association, "did not bother to leave a drain so that rainwater would not accumulate and affect the rest of the houses."
The problem is that the bad omens, according to the residents of Titerroy, may come true. On Sunday morning, the board of directors of the neighborhood association went to this street to check how the house was after the rains that had fallen since Friday. "We could see that it is filling with water inside, because it has no roof and the City Council walled it up without leaving a drain to expel the rainwater," the association has denounced.
Faced with this situation, the residents of the area have asked the capital's City Council to take more "seriously the serious problem that the residents have been suffering since 2009." "To date, no one has done anything to find a solution to this problem," the residents of Titerroy have criticized.
In this sense, they have reminded the City Council that there are many residents who live with "props" in their houses and have denounced that the City Council "has not deigned to send a technician" to review the state of these structures.
Plan E Works
The Titerroy Neighborhood Association has also taken advantage of this press release to denounce several of the works that have been carried out in the neighborhood with funds from Plan E. "When four drops of rain fall, the water accumulates on the road, which did not happen before," they have stated.
They have also recalled that in the summer they asked the City Council to clean the drains before winter arrived, something that has not been done to date. "They are still full of garbage," the neighborhood association has lamented.
