Fears as gardens and driveways collapse near 300-home new build estate
Furious locals say their gardens and driveways are collapsing after building work started on a new estate. Dozens of residents in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts., were shocked when cracks appeared in their driveways. Large chunks of people’s gardens in George Street also sank by up to 3ft amid fears of a major landslip. The damage is believed to have been caused by powerful vibrations coming from diggers doing groundworks on a new housing development nearby. Construction has been temporarily halted as investigations are carried out into the building work which developers blame on “heavy rain”.
