People living on a new estate say they are fed up with ongoing issues with their homes as well as rats and flooded gardens. Street lights are reportedly not working, there are 'huge potholes' on roads and there have also been alleged heating issues.
One resident said nothing in their house was straight and bricks weren't level. They said: "It’s like a monkey built them and they paid them in peanuts, you can add that in."
As reported by Derbyshire Live and Staffordshire Live, those living on Avant Homes’ Cadley Village estate in Swadlincote, south Derbyshire, claim they have been left hanging over the problems due to a high turnover of customer care managers. In a statement, Avant Homes said it is conducting a review with its groundworks sub-contractor and is planning remedial work on roads and footpaths.
