RESIDENTS of Patrforce Extension, Gasparillo, are appealing for someone to help repair a landslip which is making access to and from their homes, almost impossible.
Josephine King, 60, said, "We really need a little help here because the road is caving in."
The problems with the landslip happened ten years ago.
King said taxis do not come into the area because of the condition of the road.
"You have to pay a set of money (to taxis) to come in or come out."
King said the residents were willing to repair the landslip themselves.
"If we get the material to try to do something. But you see it's real bad."
She claimed her house suffered damage as a result of the landslip six years ago.
"I never got any compensation"
King said approximately 75 residents are affected by the landslip.

Ruling party candidate Evariste Ndayishimiye has won Burundi's presidential election by a landslide, preliminary results show, while the main opposition party cries fraud.
The independent election commission (CENI) announced partial results Monday, giving Ndayishimiye 69% of the vote and his chief competitor Agathon Rwasa of the opposition CNL party 24%.
Current First Vice President Gaston Sindimwo of the nationalist party Uprona finished far behind with just 2%.
Party spokesman Terence Manirambona tells VOA's Central Africa service that CNL has its own numbers to prove that Rwasa won.
He said the party was \"stunned\" to hear what he says are false numbers and accuses the election commission of colluding with the ruling party to keep opposition election observers away from the polls.

• We the people -- it is a very eloquent beginning. But when the Constitution of the United States was completed on the seventeenth of September in 1787, I was not included in that We the people. I felt for many years that somehow George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake.
But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in We the People.
