The Crofton Grange estate has existed for over a decade, houses on the estate are built by Persimmon Homes & Taylor Wimpey. 

In 2022 having completed all house building on the estate one developer - Persimmon vacated the estate, with Taylor Wimpey having left some years prior. However, they both did so with the estate not completely finished. 

Having two housing developers share a site and then vacate once all work has been completed in terms of building homes has  presented a number of issues. These issues have become increasingly frustrated once the developers have left and neither have taken responsibility for the completing of certain work and outstanding issues which are having a detrimental impact on residents currently. In addition these issues to be complete,  were in some cases a deciding factor in certain families purchasing a property through the developer and moving to the estate. 

After Persimmon Homes left site mid 2022 frequent emails and letters have been sent to both developers and local councillors from residents which have led to no movement on the most pressing topics. 

The issues raised include but are not limited to;

• The topping of all existing roads on site 
• The topping of all existing paths on site 
• Kerbstones missing/damaged
• Proposed Park/Play Area included in site plans from developers to be erected 
• The adoption of ALL green areas by landscapers to ensure everywhere is cut and maintained when on site
• A completed path to exit the Crofton Grange estate on both sides of the entrance road (currently only one side has a entrance path).
• Having only one entrance to the estate causing significant congestion especially AM, proposals were to have two. 

These are an example of some of the issues which still exist on the Crofton Grange estate which have become a major inconvenience to residents and a source of great frustration on a daily basis. 

Both of these developers have examples of completing housing developments up and down the country and a significant number of these locally yet, Crofton Grange remains one which has be benifitted  from the same standards. 

The purpose of this petition is to gather signatures from residents on the development in the hope that those involved, most notably the developers have a discussion and address the issues to finally complete the development before NCC adopt it to the standard in which it should be, to the standard was proposed it would be and to the standard in which residents were sold. 

This petition will be forwarded to local media/councillors etc in the hope we gain some movement ASAP.
