\u00a0RESIDENTS of a seaside town say it's being ruined by an "eyesore" \u00a320million newbuild estate.<\/p>\n

Angry locals said the crumbling housing estate in The Sands, Kent, is a dumping ground full of pigeons and rabbits. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Folkestone and Hythe District Council approved FDC Homes' plans to build 59 houses and 26 apartments in 2016.<\/p>\n

The half-built seafront development in St Mary's Bay on Romney Marsh was supposed to welcome its first residents four years ago.<\/p>\n

But the \u00a320 million property is now a ghost estate surrounded by a destroyed fencing, broken windows and overgrown grass.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe used to have security guards living in static caravans to stop people entering the site, but since work stopped anyone can wander on there.<\/p>\n

Neighbours said works continued on the site but came to a halt in early 2022 – with building materials hanging around the plot.<\/p>\n

Compass Builders Ltd then fell into administration earlier this year and the development was left in ruins ever since.<\/p>\n

Fed-up locals said rabbits are now bouncing around the properties and hundreds of pigeons lurking in the neglected premises.<\/p>\n

Bob Thomson<\/span>, who lives a few doors down from the estate, said the building used to have security guards to avoid intruders.<\/p>\n

Mark Jones, who lives opposite the estate in Jesson Close, said he even has to put the blinkers on to avoid looking at the wasted ground.<\/p>\n

The distressed man fumed: "My main issue is I don\u2019t know where we go from here. How long are we going to have to sit with this?"<\/p>\n

Residents are now begging the council to demolish the building.<\/p>\n

John Underwood, who lives in nearby Jefferstone Lane, said: "It's a disgrace – I've only lived here for a year, but it has been like that the whole time I've been here.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs to be knocked down for something for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not been updated or told anything, so we have all just been going off rumours."<\/p>\n

Residents living close by said they hear an occasional warning message played through some speakers when people enter the estate.<\/p>\n

But claimed the police never turns up to investigate.<\/p>\n

Cllr Tony Cooper said he is "strongly advising" people to stay away from the site and call the police if they see anyone in the estate.<\/p>\n

Mr Cooper added the council is unable to restart building works as it "has no money<\/span> to sort the problem out".<\/p>\n

A statement released by FDC Homes said new plans will be submitted for the site – but there's no official date.<\/p>\n

Aspokesman said: "This site at St Mary's Bay is currently in the hands of the official receiver.<\/p>\n

"The council is aware of a potential planning application coming forward for the site but at this stage, no formal application has been submitted."<\/p>\n
