Some residents have spent the last seven years waiting for their house to be knocked down

Dozens of Nottinghamshire residents have been left living in "limbo" for almost a decade and the end is still not in sight as construction is delayed further. The initial plans for the regeneration of Yorke Drive, in Newark, were first announced 12 years ago, which would see a number of council homes demolished in the area and replaced with new builds.

Vice-chair of the resident panel, Ginnette Hardy, received a letter seven years ago stating that her home would be demolished. Since then she has been unable to make changes to her home due to the uncertainty of when she will move and not wanting to invest in a property that will just get knocked down.

The mum stated: "I have been waiting for four years for major work to be done in my house. They needed to replaster the whole living room ceiling and put a whole new ceiling in the dining room and replaster it. "Some residents have told us that they feel they cannot decorate their homes or maintain their gardens whilst waiting." The council goes on to state that they have volunteers available to help residents with their gardens whilst they wait for the redevelopment to be underway.

Long-standing resident Joanne Wyld said: "I'm not part of the regeneration but the effect it is having on the estate is awful. Everyone is just dumping rubbish and leaving their gardens in a state.
