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 recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

When Mum needed the system most that she had been paying into all her life she was failed by countless people and departments, assessments not completed, lost files, appointments not kept, delay after delay and on. I had a gut feeling that procedures weren't being followed and began my quest for the truth in her memory. I found James at 'Winston Solicitors' who helped us take on the system and prove that Mum was indeed entitled to CHC Funding. Throughout the case he was relentless in his pursuit to seek out the truth and hold those accountable who failed Mum. He gave us regular updates and discussed every step with us along the way, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who has found themselves in this dreadful position in traumatic times with their loved ones. - August 2025
