An angry homeowner has spoken of his ordeal after a businessman's botched attempt to build a new family home next door left part of his property at risk of collapse.
Shaun Simpson says he has been left in the middle of a "living nightmare" after unsafe work left the site just yards from his home "a death trap waiting to happen".
Mustapha Matib, who is not a builder, took it upon himself to act as principal contractor for the project to build himself a new home, the Manchester Evening News reports.
