"I've never seen it looking so untidy": Builders blasted over mess in Doncaster village

An angry resident of a Doncaster village has blasted builders constructing a new housing estate in the area, saying: “I’ve never seen it looking so untidy – its an eyesore, a hazard and like living on a dumpit site.”

Jennifer Oxley has blasted Avant Homes who are behind the Eden Fields development off the West Moor Link Road between Edenthorpe and Armthorpe.

She said: “As a resident of Edenthorpe for 47 years I have never seen our village looking so untidy.

"We have dedicated litter pickers but the mess left by the Eden Fields building site is a constant battle and beyond belief.

Builders have left Edenthorpe looking like a dumpit site, one upset resident has said.

"It is like living on the edge of a dumpit site.

"Our beautiful woodlands are clogged with sacks, polystyrene packing, discarded sharp metal flags and plastic sheeting.

"Miles of plastic mesh lay on the ground, the perfect trap for any wildlife that remains.

"It’s an eyesore and a hazard. Shameful.”

We have contacted Avant for comment.
