A MOTHER has expressed her relief at her family being moved into a new council home in St Asaph from their previous property in Rhyl, which she labelled as “dangerous”.

Leanne Pearson, 30, moved into a property on River Street, Rhyl, in February, after the organisation Big Help Project offered her and her family accommodation there.

She lives there with five children, who range in age from one to 12, and her partner, but told the Journal in July that numerous problems with the property had left her “at my wit’s end”.

These included potential fire hazards and alleged antisocial behaviour by other tenants, while a broken step into the property caused her one-year-old to repeatedly cut herself on it, she added.

But Leanne and her family have since been moved by Denbighshire County Council into a three-bedroom house in St Asaph, which has left them all “so much happier”.

She said: “My kids are a lot happier and safer now; we’re all so much happier where we are.

“My one-year-old’s cuts are now healed, and we’ve managed to get our family pet dog back, as well, as he wasn’t allowed in our previous property.

“We, as a family, are so happy and feel so much less stress.”

As well as the council, Leanne said she also sought help from James Davies, the MP for Vale of Clwyd, prior to her move to St Asaph.

Dr Davies expressed his happiness at the outcome for Leanne and her family, having been left “very concerned” at hearing about the issues with their previous home in Rhyl.

He said: “I have been in contact with Leanne and I was very concerned to hear of the conditions of her home.

“I raised these concerns with both the council and Big Help Project to try to resolve the issues and I am very pleased that Leanne is now happy in alternative accommodation.”
