Andy Burnham labels cowboy builders ‘crooks’ who ‘destroy lives’ and vows to put them out of business.
Writing in the Daily Mail the Prime Minister tells how one woman was driven to attempt suicide by an unscrupulous tradesman who left her home unsafe to live in.
Citing figures showing that homeowners lost £14.3billion in five years to cowboy builders, he adds: ‘They prey on the vulnerable, they rob our neighbours of their futures and, above all else, they destroy lives.
‘They’re crooks – and it’s about time we treated them like it. So, today, we’re putting the cowboys out of business.’
