Woman highlights building site dangers

A single mum has turned amateur photographer to highlight the dangers facing her children of suffering a personal injury from building work near their home.

The woman who lives in Queenshill View, Moortown, near to where a housing association is building 62 retirement flats and says that the street has been turned into a building site and that her three children are being put in danger. She has developed a Powerpoint presentation, which she has sent to the association, which shows wagons parked on the street, piles of rubble in the car park and the site being unlocked at weekends.
She commented: “We were all against the scheme at the start and we backed down because they promised wagons wouldn’t park on the street. But all the rules have been broken, time and time again. Living here is like living in hell at the moment.”

A spokesperson for the building work said: “We have had a few difficulties with the development, and are reliant on tenants telling us when the building contractor and its sub-contractors are not adhering to the rules.”

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My son recently purchased a property. I had used Winston Solicitors for many years and had no hesitation in recommending them to him. Their service is outstanding; very professional yet friendly and approachable. Samantha is awesome. She always does a thorough job. Paulo, her assistant, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with as well. So a huge thumbs up and many thanks all around! - October 2025

This was a stressful (and as it was a property purchase caused by divorce), very emotional. Samantha and Paulo were always very kind and patient. - October 2025

I recently used Winston Solicitors for the purchase of my first home and was extremely impressed with the service. My solicitor, Leasa, along with her assistant, Julie, were outstanding throughout the process—thorough, accommodating, and always patient in explaining each step clearly. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always going above and beyond to support me. I truly appreciated their professionalism and personal approach, and I would not hesitate to recommend Winston Solicitors to anyone - I cannot thank you all enough. - September 2025
