Bestwood Village estate residents feel 'forgotten' as street lights remain faulty

People on a Bestwood Village estate say they are feeling "forgotten" by its developer as they battle with them to get street lights fixed. Two of the lights on Mill Lane remain dark at night, with one of them allegedly having never worked since the estate was built around 15 years ago.

The path affected is described as a popular cut-through but many people are changing their routes to avoid the "pitch black" street that the broken lights create. People living there are now hoping for the issue to be fixed before darker evenings return again in the winter.

Morris Homes is the developer behind the estate and residents say the company is still responsible for issues including roads and street lights. This is because the council has reportedly not adopted the land, meaning it is still classed as private and therefore falls under the developer.
