Q) FOR the past 18 months, our daughter has been the only cleaner for an independent living home where 40 residents live. Recently another cleaning contractor has taken over. Last week she was told she will be given a tracking device to wear around her neck and that she will have to charge it up at home.
This new firm may look at your daughter’s length of service and her refusal to comply with its requirements and take the view it would be cheaper to pay whatever is owed on her current contract. Or it might dismiss her. I told the firm I wanted to keep the wall because the development plot was so small my property would be really overlooked by these flats. The wall was 2.1m high, so at least I would have a bit of privacy.
Before reporting this matter to the planning authorities – and certainly before considering any legal claim you might have against this developer – it might be worth instructing a chartered surveyor to give their assessment of this situation.
