Town House Construction.

Kathleen from Dinsdale

A lot of residents, especially those who have been in their homes a long time, are peeved off with developers buying neighbouring houses and sticking multiple prefabricated rabbit hutch town houses next to them.
Once there were laws and regulations to consider neighbours - not now.
These ugly constructions de-value people next door properties, they invade the privacy of those over the fence, they chop all the tree's down and they have nowhere for their kids to play.
Yes, we know about the housing shortage but these ugly office blocks hardly fall into the affordable housing category.
The latest good solid brick house and section to go in lieu of more hutches is in Gibson Road opposite the dairy and the neighbours are not happy, and rightly so. Is nowhere safe?
