Builder accused of 'legging it' with £18,000 and leaving disabled family's home a 'bombsite'
A disabled Telford man and his disabled mother have thanked a local landscaping company for coming to the rescue after their garden and driveway were left like a "bombsite" by another firm.
Corey Haseley and his mum Rachael Haseley-Rose who both suffer disabilities, needed to make their driveway and back garden in Chilcombe Drive, Priorslee, more accessible.
Corey, 28, is blind and a wheelchair user who suffers from de-generative eye condition optic atrophy, and a rare form of the life-limiting condition mitochondrial syndrome. His 51-year-old mum has the chronic autoimmune disease lupus.
In January, they hired a Midlands building firm to come and do the work, which was set to cost the pair £18,000.
However, after the firm dug up the driveway and garden, they allegedly "legged it", despite having been paid several thousands pounds from the estimate by the the Haseleys.
