The Deputy Prime Minister is calling on the public to help him in his quest to rebalance the relationship between the state and individuals.

Nick Clegg has launched a ‘Your Freedom’ website which invites members of the public to nominate laws and regulations they would like abolished and he promised that the best suggestions would be taken into account when the Freedom Bill in published in the autumn. The coalition government is already committed to scrapping Labour’s ID cards scheme as well as looking into the use of CCTV cameras and the rules restricting adults’ contact with children.

The website already has almost 350 suggestions including a call for a review of the speeding laws and calls for an end to the smoking ban. Mr Clegg has said that thousands of criminal offences were created under the previous Labour government but that they had failed to make the streets safer. He added that unnecessary laws and cumbersome regulations also had a damaging effect on business.

Client feedback

Monika made the whole Wil process very simple & was more than happy to explain any concerns we had.
Jane
was a CIACA case, great service, professional, kept informed all the way

I found Sidraa to be very thorough, proactively raising questions about the conveyance even before I had asked her myself. All communication was clear and regular updates provided, which was very helpful.It was a stressful process (what house move isn’t!)due to an issue dragging on, no fault on the Solicitors’ part but meant exchange and completion in quick succession! Ultimately, Sidraa and Tom worked very hard to achieve the completion date everyone wanted so thank you 🙏

Emily was a very patient and supportive lady, as we were not very clued in to dealing with some of the internet issues and she guided us through it.Emily made altering our wills a breeze, would use this firm Winston solicitors 100 percent for all our business.

Leasa and the team at Winston solicitors have been really good. Leasa was very thorough in her work helping me with my house purchase. I can highly recommend her and Winston solicitors for conveyancing.

Winston Solicitors are the best solicitor firm I have dealt with. They helped sell my house. Sidraa and Tom were always communicating with me and turned things round quickly when I was going out of the country. I would definitely use them again and that’s not the case usually with solicitor firms.

I received a welcoming and efficient service from Monika at Winston’s. A lovely, friendly lady that was very professional at the same time. I would use Winston’s again.

Initially the person that was allocated to me was not very good and I didn’t get any compensation but when I changed the person and pushed for review to look at again I was able to get the compensation awarded. It did take time nearly 2 years.
