Discontent is still rife on a newly built housing estate with locals complaining about the "dismal state" of roads and pavements.

And the conditions of St George's Estate in Loddon have also led to the leader of Norfolk County Council, Kay Mason Billig, asking officials at a planning department what can be done about the "blighted" development.

Families living on St George's Estate say the roads and pavements have never been completed, let alone properly surfaced.

The six streets on the estate are all uneven, cracked and dotted with potholes.

They have not had white lining painted on them and manholes are exposed.

Because the surfacing work has not been completed, many of the kerbs are extremely high.

Locals say their cars are being damaged while the bumpy thoroughfares have created hazards which are frequently tripping people up.

South Norfolk Council insists responsibility for the roads lies with the developer, Halsbury Homes, rather than it, because the company is still building homes at the back of the site.

Mrs Mason Billig, who also represents Loddon at South Norfolk Council, said: "I am very frustrated over this matter.

"This is a lovely development with some very beautiful houses, but it is blighted by not being finished.

"This morning I asked again for an update from the planning department at South Norfolk.

"When I have tried to get to the bottom of what is happening before, I have been told various different reasons why the roads were not finished, I am sure these were all true at the time of telling. However, we still seem to be no further forward.

"I have acted in good faith in trying to resolve this issue.

"In order to be as helpful as I can be and so that residents can reassure themselves; I have given them information about how they can make a complaint if they feel that a councillor has done something they are not happy with.

"And I have encouraged them to write to the planning department at South Norfolk and demand some action, either holding whoever is responsible for the outstanding works to account or using their powers of enforcement.

"I have no doubt that planning officers are still working towards a solution, and I believe that enforcement officers may have already been consulted."

Despite the leader of the Norfolk County Council saying she is doing all she can to resolve the issue, the feeling of discontent at the situation is still strong in the estate.

Lisa Bailey, of Aspen Close, had caused a debate on a Facebook page when she confronted the councillor about the lack of accountability for the issue.

She argues that if the developer is not taking responsibility then the council must enforce it.

The mother said: "It is not going to be long until someone is seriously hurt as a result of the dismal condition of the roads.

"The entire estate is like the surface of the moon and our complaints are falling on deaf ears, nobody wants to take responsibility for the damage.

"I live on Aspens Close in the social housing area of the site, and while it is bad for us too, I actually feel sorry for our neighbours who have spent a lot of money on their homes."

When it is complete, St George's Park will have 180 homes. It is part of a number of housing developments which are significantly increasing the population of Loddon.

Halsbury were asked to comment.
