Work on new houses on the Batchley estate, Redditch, has been affected this week because of the strike of electricians engaged on contract work.
The strike, called by the Electrical Trades Union for Monday, is part of the Union's campaign for higher wages.
The contractor engaged on the Batchley housing estate C Bryant and Son Ltd, employing only three electricians and three youths.
Apart from the Batchley houses, the strike seems to have by-passed the Redditch area.
