Residents are welcome to drop in at any point during the meeting to discuss the scandal with Oliver Ryan, the Labour MP for Burnley, Padiham and Brierfield.

It follows the collapse of Sheffield-based legal firm SSB Law in January, leaving residents facing thousands in debt after taking on no-win, no-fee compensation claims for failed cavity wall insulation – despite reassurances that they would not pay a penny.
