Some of Mr and Mrs Faulkner s fire damaged household items in the garden of their Diggle home
A shocked couple have lost their home to a devastating fire in a Saddleworth village blighted by major traffic problems.
Mrs Jane Faulkner and her husband Dave had to vacate their semi-detached house in Diggle after it was destroyed by fire late yesterday morning (Thursday).
Villagers and businesses have faced problems since earlier in the year when major road works for the new Saddleworth School has led to a one way system of traffic, which has to make a 4.2 mile detour to reach the village centre.
