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.”

I dealt with Emily regarding my will; she was professional and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I finally got around to having wills written via the charity scheme (St Gemma's). Emily was great at talking us through the options, answering our queries and setting this up professionally, personably and in a timely manner. I would recommend Winstones to others and would use them again for any legal work we may require in the future.

My situation is fairly straightforward with a couple of areas on which I needed a bit of advice. The solicitor was very helpful at explaining the possible options. The process was thorough and executed in a timely way.

Our experience using Winstons Solicitors for our home purchase was excellent. Communication was clear and timely throughout, and we never once had to chase for a response. Michelle and the entire team were fantastic, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

After losing a family member last year, it made me realise that I had to sort out a Will, as you never know what’s going to happen and when. Emily explained things in clear English and making my Will was so much simpler than I thought it would be.Thank you so much Emily, highly recommended!
