Those living next to a Tameside building site where a man wanting to build himself a new family home and allowed workers to dig barefoot have spoken of their 'nightmare.'
Mustapha Matib was not a builder but took it upon himself to act as principal contractor for the project to build the new home, which he intended to live in afterwards. But shocking pictures from the site showed workers with no shoes or socks working on the rubble-filled site.
Workers on the site, on a plot of land neighbouring a number of bungalows on a housing estate in the Haughton Green area of Denton, were also captured leaning over a huge hole estimated to be around seven-feet deep. Locals said they understood was to become a swimming pool.
