Julia Dowd, who lives on The Fairways estate, said: “This has left many residents, including those in social housing, being isolated.
“Residents have been requesting immediate action to prevent injury or loss of life as a result of not creating adequate infrastructure to a growing development, which currently has approximately 400 properties being occupied.”
