Romeo's Renovation: Neighbors vs. New Civil Service Head

0:00On March 7, Damon Tonyerromio made headlines last month as the first woman appointed head of the UK Civil Service. She and her wealthy husband recently bought an 8.5 million pound townhouse in an upscale West London neighborhood. Now their 2 million pound renovation project is stirring up trouble with locals. Builders working on the home have been blocking parking spots without proper permits, using cones and materials instead. One neighbor, whose partner is battling cancer, circle for ages looking for space. When he asked him to move, a worker allegedly shouted foul language at him. Neighbors say major builds are common here, but most follow the rules. This crew has been sloppy a few times. The next day, after another confrontation, the builders apologized with a bouquet of flowers. Romeo has a stellar career, from diplomat in New York to top roles in trade, justice, and homophares. Most complaints about bullying and expenses were investigated and cleared years ago.
