We paid Wickes £10,000 but their workmen turned our home into a DEATH TRAP… we’ve been fighting them for three years
A COUPLE who paid Wickes £10,000 for a new bathroom and kitchen say workers have turned their home into a DEATH TRAP. Giovanni Wallace, 50, said he's been fighting the workmen for three years to get the issues completed after using his pension on the home refurbishment. Mr Wallace was told the refurb, for which he initially paid £9,972 for in March 2019, would take two weeks at his home in Barnstaple, Devon. But when he and his wife complained the work was taking too long and the quality was poor, the situation got worse. He told the Mirror : “Since that point nearly three years ago, we have been bullied, ignored and threatened by Wickes to the point my wife has started to suffer with mental health problems.” He had to get an ombudsman and a professional surveyor to report on the issues - who listed over "100 items that were substandard or not finished."

(CDC/Handout via REUTERS) LONDON — The World Health Organization is working on further guidance for countries on how to mitigate the spread of monkeypox, amid concerns that cases could spike further in the summer months, a senior adviser for the UN agency told Reuters. The WHO’s working theory based on the cases identified so far is that the outbreak is being driven by sexual contact, said David Heymann, chair of the WHO’s Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Hazards with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential. He led a meeting on the outbreak on Friday. Monkeypox is an infectious disease that is usually mild and is endemic in parts of west and central Africa. It is spread by close contact, which means it can be relatively easily contained through such measures as self-isolation and … [Read more...] about WHO working on more monkeypox guidance as cases rise
