Homeowners fuming over new build estate falling into 'disrepair'

People living on a new housing estate have voiced their anger over the alleged poor upkeep and now fear that they may have to foot the bill to have it brought back up to scratch. Residents living in the new build properties have raised concerns over weeds growing in play parks and newly planted trees which have been left to die.

Some have also reportedly taken to cutting the grass in one of the estate's parks themselves. Taylor Wimpey said it has instructed its landscaping contractors to undertake a thorough review of the site.

Vale of Glamorgan Council ward member for Rhoose, Cllr Samantha Campbell, said the issue has led her to get in touch with the local authority about the possibility of enforcement action over a potential planning breach. A council spokesperson confirmed the matter has been reported to them and that it is being investigated, WalesOnline reports.
