Sinn Féin councillor Margaret McClenaghan has logged a complaint with the Health and Safety Executive over the way a brand new housing estate in Ligoniel has been left unfinished.
Wolfhill Manor is a private housing estate just off the Ligoniel Road and despite residents moving in over three years ago, much work remains to be done.
Unfinished roads and pavements and a muck-filled football-sized pitch, which hasn't been properly secured, are all unacceptable say residents.
Margaret McClenaghan said she had made several enquiries on behalf of residents and made a complaint to the Health and Safety Executive. She is also trying to organise a meeting between the builder and residents.
"I've been in contact with the council about the fact that three years on, the area still doesn't even have an official street name," she said.
"Part of the site isn't secured properly and the roads and pavements clearly are not up to scratch. People are not happy and they feel as if they've been treated very shabbily here,” said the Sinn Féin Councillor.
The DRD Roads Service said they were taking the matter very seriously and had now initiated enforcement action in which the developer has a final opportunity to complete the outstanding works.
Should the developer not respond positively to the Notice by the end of September, Roads Service will arrange to undertake the remedial works at the developer's expense as soon as a Roads Service contractor becomes available.
