A tenant representative on the London and Middlesex Community Housing (LMCH) board has quit, saying not enough is being done to deal with bed bug and cockroach problems in the building where she lives.

Tammy Brooks, 43, has lived at 304 Oxford St. for seven years and served as a tenant representative on LMCH’s board for two years.

This week she submitted her resignation, saying the board needs to develop a more coordinated, pro-active approach to bug spraying in the 32 properties they manage.

“I think they need to go floor-by-floor and unit-by-unit,” said Brooks, whose apartment received an initial spraying last week. “But if they don’t treat the other units, it’s just going to keep continuing to come back. They need to inspect units, they need to do assessments.”
