It is challenging to run a business when you don’t know when you will next be able to source water. Business woman Tracy Ann lives in Gordon Lane. For years, she couldn’t source water regularly from nearby neighbourhoods because of criminal activity on the way to the water points. She recently found a solution in creating a hose connection, which runs through two neighbourhood yards, all the way into her own home.
Ever since the Prince’s Trust project closed in 2004, the people of Gordon Lane have been seeking answers from the council, and other community organisations, about the missing pipes. 20 years-on, they still don’t understand why their community was left out of the project. But their own efforts and the ingeniosity of people like Tracy have allowed them to access some form of water.
