People living opposite the site have welcomed the project on land that was once an 'eyesore'
People opposite an Arnold development that caused two lorry incidents in one day say they welcome the new housing on land which was previously an "eyesore." Two lorries were carrying wide loads towards the modular housing site off Rolleston Drive on Tuesday when an incident forced the closure of a road for over six hours.
People living in Woodthorpe said the accidents were "waiting to happen", whilst the company behind the housing project concerned apologised for the inconvenience and said it would review the route used by the lorries. But people living opposite the development off Rolleston Drive say despite this week's incidents, the project has caused little disruption for them.The Birch Fields estate will comprise 131 modular homes, all of which have been built at a factory in North Yorkshire.
"Otherwise it's not been too bad, you obviously get a bit of noise. There is a need for housing and it will be nice not to have that land as an eyesore anymore." Ellie Hardy, 43, said: "It's good for the area to have more housing because it was just barren land before. The houses look quite nice as well, I've never seen these modular ones before."
