A dad has raised concerns about his disabled stepdaughter's garden after a housing association failed to rectify a loose fence.

Hannah Hayley-Crook has cerebral palsy and lives independently in a masonette in Duncan Road, Gillingham.

The 27-year-old has a power-assisted wheelchair to help her move about, and gets help from two carers.

Around two months ago, a fence came down in her garden leaving a foot-and-a-half high concrete ledge between her's and the neighbouring garden.

There is also a fence to the side of the garden which could fall over.

Hannah's stepfather Paul Baker has temporarily propped up the fence which he says has been loose for 10 months.

He fears Hannah could fall off the ledge at the end of the garden, or the fence could come down on her and cause her harm.

He said: “When it is really windy, the fence is all over the place, it could have fallen over onto her.

“She sometimes helps the carers with hanging the washing out by holding the basket, the fence could come over on her then.

“Also, if she goes forward by accident, she can go over the edge.”

The maisonette, which is equipped to cater for Hannah’s needs, is owned by Hyde Group.

"She can’t do anything, I am not going to touch it. It is up to the Hyde Group to repair it,” said Mr Baker.

“They should be responsible for the fences. These fences are falling down and they aren’t doing anything about it.”

After being contacted by KentOnline, Mark Batchelor, property services director at Hyde, said: “We are sorry for the delay in repairing Miss Hayley-Crook’s fence panels.

“We have now made the garden safe and secure and will be returning to do a permanent fix as soon as possible.”

Mr Baker said: “I won’t be happy until the fence is done completely and it is made safe.”
