The future of 313 homes off Clipstone Road East in Clipstone near Mansfield hang in the balance after Sherwood Oaks Homes went bust. Locals living opposite claimed they were unaware.

Residents living next to a 'ghost' £100million housing development have said they have not seen activity on the site for months - after it emerged the contractor had collapsed into adminstration.

'The only issue I did have is that with new housing you need new amenities. If you lived in Arnold or Beeston there would have been something built with the development, but there's no investment around here.' The area was due to receive a number of other benefits as part of Sherwood Oak Homes' planning agreement with Mansfield District Council, with building work having started in October 2021.

Another Clipstone Road East resident, in his 50s, said: 'We moved here eight years ago from Essex because there was no traffic, but now it's just like Essex was back then.Although Sherwood Oak Homes' principal trading address is at its Clipstone site, the firm's registered address is in Essex. Arron Kendall and Milan Vuceljic of administrator Moorfields were appointed on October 3, according to the London Gazette.

Lynsey Gibson is a town councillor and lives on the estate in Hetton-le-Hole, Sunderland, with her partner and three children Fed-up householders have had to put up with dust, noise, mud, and claim cracks started to appear in their homes when work started on the 86-home development in July 2022. The Sands, a new-build estate in St Mary's Bay on Romney Marsh, was expected to welcome its first residents in the summer of 2019 but supply issues delayed the build.

The half-broken fencing around the empty homes makes it easy for anyone to wander onto the land and cause damage. Pictured: Estate in St Mary's Bay, Kent
