But Haden Cross Drive in Cradley Heath also features street lights that have never worked and sewers that still have not been taken on by the water company.

However, residents said subsidence in Haden Cross Drive first became evident in January 2024 when a tree fell in nearby woods.

Sewers at Haden Cross have yet to be adopted by Severn Trent Water, at which point their responsibility passes to the water supplier, and the developer footed a bill when they became blocked soon after homes were sold.

Fellow resident Irene Taylor bought her home at Haden Cross at the same time as Mr Aleksander, and said she had yet to receive a water bill since moving in.

But Haden Cross is not the only estate built by Redditch-based firm Dunedin to have problems with sewers and street lights.
