The state of a new build Taylor Wimpey housing estate where residents pay a fee for it to be kept pristine

Residents living on a housing estate in Rhoose have complained about its alleged poor upkeep and now fear that they may have to foot the bill to have it brought back up to scratch. A number of people who live on Taylor Wimpey's Golwg y Mor estate in Rhoose have raised concerns about a number of issues at the site, including weeds growing in play parks and newly planted trees which have been left to die.

Some residents 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.
