Ray Smythe

Ray Smythe was a man part of the company who wanted to purchase 26 Leigh Road from the council to build a sewage facility. In May 2010, Ray visited the residents - the McQueen family (with journalist Meriel Vaughn present) - to discuss their objections. Mercedes McQueen ended up handcuffing him as Theresa McQueen locked the front door. Carmel Valentine arrived and attempted to diffuse the situation by telling Ray that everyone got along on the street, but Ray said that there was a petition to evict the McQueens. Myra then brought up her late daughter Tina Reilly and pretended to burst into tears, with Ray deciding to speak with his supervisor before making a quick getaway.
Ray later returned and told the family that they could stay, as the sewage plant would be built next door. The McQueens complained about the smell it would cause and Myra demanded a new five bedroom house, but Ray mentioned the ties the family had to the house and left.
