A Thomas Street, Cummingsburg resident is counting her losses after an abandoned house collapsed onto the side of her home and she is calling on the authorities at the City Council to demolish the derelict building.
Laurine Jardine, who resides at Lot 290, Thomas Street, said she and her husband were awakened by a thunderous noise around 4.30 yesterday morning.
She explained from the time she heard the noise she suspected that the house had fallen as it was leaning towards her home. On checking, the woman said, her fears were confirmed. She noted that at this point she is unable to figure out the damage as the derelict structure is still braced against the northern side of her house.
