At the time, Mr Burgin said the company was 'aiming to have the work completed by the end of the year'.

But the work was not finished by the end of 2017.

In a statement, Sutton-cum-Duckmanton Parish Council said it was 'very disappointed' that Oakleigh Homes had still not completed the housing development.
