Schoolchildren win speed limit fight

Schoolchildren in Cookridge, Leeds, have won their fight to get a new 20mph zone introduced in the area around their school.

Pupils from the Holy Name Catholic Primary School took their fight to Leeds City Council with some pupils speaking at a council meeting to ask for help. Now, an executive board has ratified the decision which will bring a lower speed limit in addition to the junior road safety officers which the school already uses to help pupils cross busy roads and advise parents on parking issues.

The council is already intending to cut the speed limit around 16 schools in the city over this year to add to the existing 55 20mph schemes which currently exist near schools and residential areas in Leeds.

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.
