It's very hard to be locked down in a house of multiple-occupancy

Please spare a thought for all the people who live in HMO’s (houses of multi-occupancy).

In central St Leonards around Warrior Square there are many flats.

Most do not have access to a garden. Some like myself are disabled residents and need to sit on a bench. In fact this would count as a form of exercise, walking a bit then sitting and walking a bit more.

My flat gets extremely hot, its south facing. Last year it was 40c, the same as the Sahara Desert! To expect someone to stay indoors all day, with night temperatures of 28c is impossible. Despite an extraction fan and other circulatory fans. In effect moving hot air around.

Yes, I have ordered a air conditioning unit, but not sure when it will come due to the pandemic.

Keep up the social distancing but know some people are really doing there best to abide by the lockdown rules.
