People will be able to speak to solicitors from Barnsley firm Raleys Solicitors about a wide range of issues, including what to do in the event of an accident at home, work or in a car, how to make a will or how to start a compensation claim for occupational illness – whatever questions people want to ask. The initial consultation is completely free of charge.

 

The next surgery takes place at the Miners Welfare at West End Lane, Rossington, on Friday, February 26. Regular surgeries are scheduled for last Friday of every month. The Raleys team will be there 9.30am - 12.30pm.

 

“These surgeries are open to all residents of the Rossington community,” said solicitor Debra Allen, of Raleys, who is co-ordinating the surgeries. “You don’t have to be an ex-miner or union member to come along and speak to us. The surgeries have proved really popular in the past. This is the first one of the year in Rossington so we hope to see many people there.”

 

Raleys Solicitors has worked with the Yorkshire Area NUM to organise regular one-to-one advice sessions in South Yorkshire’s mining communities. Miners past and present are welcome, along with their family, friends and neighbours.

 

Local NUM members can contact John Gibson on 01302 863974 for further information about the surgeries. Debra Allen is available on 01226 603 207 for non-union enquiries.
