A RADYR resident\u2019s life has been turned upside down after a homeless man set up home\u00a0on a bench outside her house.
\nEve Read voiced her concern at Radyr’s October PACT meeting, attended by Councillor Rod McKerlich and PCSO Jessica Southam.<\/span>
\n\u201cI\u2019m living with fear 24 hours a day, he sees all my comings and goings,\u201d said Mrs Read.<\/span>
\n\u201cHe has committed verbal abuse to an elderly lady who was over the age of 80 and the young ladies are now afraid to go out of their homes and walk to school when he is around.\u201d <\/span>
\nMrs Read was backed up by neighbours who recalled similar incidents. Some described the homeless man as aggressive and alcoholic.<\/span>
\nThe man, said to be in his late 20s, has been living on a bench on Heol Isaf, Radyr for the past few weeks. His name is not known.<\/span>
\nSome residents have been trying to have him removed from the bench and the area. Others have been\u00a0providing him with food and warm clothes.<\/span>
