Long Covid sufferer voices her concerns after increased dust and rats get into her home<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A LLANISHEN resident says she faces daily struggles with her breathing and must wear a mask all the time because of dust produced at the demolition site at Ty Glas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June Griffiths, 75, lives with her husband Griff and two-year old dog Beau a short distance from the site of the old HMRC tax office and says the dust is impacting their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suffers from a rare disease, Charcot Marie Tooth, which causes her daily mobility issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI pray for rain so I can breathe again, it\u2019s the only time I\u2019m not coughing,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike many people, I had Covid, but my symptoms seemed to go on for months, and I was coughing all day and night. It sounded like the worst cold and sinusitis you\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time we opened the door there was a layer of dust around,\u201d she said. She also saw rats in her own home, and believed they were disturbed by the demolition work.<\/p>\n\n\n
