Big freeze continues

The cold weather which has gripped the UK for over a week shows no signs of abating.

More snow and ice is expected in many regions this week and motoring groups are preparing drivers for “the worst ever pothole season” on the nation’s roads. The Transport Secretary Philip Hammond has announced that he is temporarily relaxing restrictions on lorry drivers working hours, allowing them to work for up to 10 hours to enable supplies of food, fuel and gritting salt to be delivered.

The bad weather has already seen seven people lose their lives including two men who were killed in a crash on the M62 in East Yorkshire and two teenage girls who were killed when their vehicle collided with a Royal Mail van in Cumbria.

Forecasters say the sub-zero temperatures, which have affected all parts of the UK, will be here for most of the week although there may be a slight thaw by Friday.

Very efficient and very pleasant to deal with, highly recommended

Despite a protected sale, Sidraa & Tom were the consummate professionals and kept everything on track

I was dreading the probate process after my husband sadly died earlier this year. Friends who had been in the same situation warned me it could take months or even years. I didn't even know what it involved, it was a complete mystery to me!Thank good ness for Emily Spencer at Winston solicitors who talked me through the whole process and told me what information I needed to complete the paperwork. Emails and phone queries were answered very promptly and once I'd submitted all the figures the grant of probate was applied for by Emily and was returned within a few weeks, not months! Great result and nothing like the trauma I was anticipating.

We used Winston's (Samantha) for our house sale & purchase. Very impressed with her dealings with us, keeping us up to date with progress and always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Colleagues who asisted her, were equally helpful. Would have no hesitation in using them again or recommend the firm. First class service.

I cannot recommend Winston's highly enough. My case in question was extremely long, convoluted and complex. Yet Winston's and in particular Harriet Reid and Emily Bell, proved to be more than up to the task. Sticking to and sifting through the facts and presenting the evidence, despite volumes of irrelevant information being thrown at them. The results achieved in court, were a true testament to their skill dedication, knowledge and understanding of the subject at hand.
