Residents living on a new build estate have hit out at developers who promised green spaces would be turned into parks and walkways but have instead been abandoned. The estate, opened in 2016 by home construction company Taylor Wimpey, was said to "rapidly become a favourite amongst both families and first-time buyers in the region."
But people living in the estate have been left fuming by the lack of devlopment done to the greenspaces, with some branding the areas as 'wasteland'. Residents, who all wish to remain nameless, argue that the housing developer didn't live up to "the commitment they have made to all the people who bought the houses," Teeside Live reports.
One family, who moved in three years ago, said the lack of maintenance has resulted in the green areas going "to rack and ruin." Taylor Wimpey has since confirmed that the play park and walkway will be completed within the coming months, with a landscaper recently visiting the site to tackle the weeds.
