In the Gritton Avenue area of Sydney, Jabad Ulrehman has been trying to clear out the wet, heavy snow from his driveway, but he wasn’t able to get far since a plow had yet to visit his street as of Tuesday afternoon.
“The city or municipality has forgotten us,” he said. “You can’t even walk here. It seems like their priorities are the main roads, but they have to look after the internal roads and internal arteries.
“We have all kind of been practically barricaded.”
Ulrehman said his family is starting to run out of groceries, but he can walk to a nearby store if need be.
But he worries for those who might not be able to do the same. He gestured at other homes where the snow has piled up against their doors, preventing their occupants from coming out.
“They have no access. I don’t know how they’re going out,” he said. “Maybe there are kids or sick people or elderly people.”
Some residents are taking matters into their own hands as they await help.
