Neighbours say they are fed up with the "mess" at a Nottingham estate that "looks like it is still being built". Work on the Martin’s Reach estate, off Russell Drive in Wollaton, began in 2019 and residents started to move in to the new properties, which cost upwards of £500,000, around a year later.
Avant Homes was the developer behind the 110-home scheme, where housebuilding finished in 2021. Despite years of complaints, some pavements outside homes in the development have been left unfinished, with barriers blocking off the rougher parts.
Residents and councillors had previously highlighted both the pavements and roads were in a potentially dangerous state, but the housebuilder's past promises to bring the site up to scratch did not materialise. Bonnie Yan, 30, an accountant who lives on the estate, said: "It is amazing that it is still not finished, it has been a mess for so long now that I can't even manage to get angry about it anymore.
