Collins Solicitors

Delighted to celebrate Des' half-century not out in the law today. What a ride it's been. Thank you to all clients, colleagues, referrers and @Collins_Law alumni for their part in making the last five decades so memorable. Still more to come! #halfcentury #celebratinglaw

Thank you Manchester Uni for hosting and Sir Brian Langstaff for supporting the memorial to those infected and affected by the national scandal that is the contaminated blood story. We shall never forget. #ContaminatedBlood #InfectedBlood #PublicInquiry #ManchesterUniversity

Thx @BBCLookEast, @itvnews and @NNJournal for today’s reports on leaking contamination around Deene Quarry in #Corby. Not the only site causing havoc with local people’s health. Town contains toxic waste -should be examined and remedied through a public inquiry. #Toxicwaste

Thank you 👋😇👋

He will forever be a hero to the infected blood community and although for many it is not yet the end of the road of this scandal, we recognise Sir Brian's job is largely done. As he stands down, we offer our sincere thanks and admiration for all he achieved.

On behalf of our clients in the infected blood community, we would like to extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to Sir Brian Langstaff and his team for their work on the Infected Blood Inquiry, given the news today this will come to a close on 31.3.26.

Determined residents told @BBC Morning Live last week they continue to call for a public inquiry into toxicity in and around Corby, seemingly causing childhood cancers and premature deaths. #toxictown #Corby bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Thank you @BBCBreakfast for highlighting childhood cancers in Corby.  The need for a public inquiry is now incontrovertible.   #ToxicTown #ChildhoodCancer #Corby See 18m 20 bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Thank you @AmyLewis & ITV for your continued focus on the #toxictown scandal. A public inquiry is the only route to exposing the full truth and for the families to be shown some accountability. itv.com/news/2026-02-0…

N Northamptonshire Council has today published analyses which purport to show that childhood cancer rates in Corby are not higher than average. Des Collins says the council's analysis is fatally flawed. "If you look in the wrong direction you won't find the real answers."

Listen to Des Collins explaining why he fears a coverup by the council and nothing short of a public inquiry is necessary #toxictownfears #corby
