Rows rumble on over Persimmon’s work on Sunderland housing estate.

Joanne Davison: I bought a new house and was first to move in. We didn't have issues of dust. The builders washed the roads down at least once a day. We could use our garden, no problem. If people can't sit in gardens due to dust something isn't right. Noise obviously, is expected.

Sharon Hickman: What do they expect it’s an up coming house estate?

Phil Oakes: Wait till the building site is complete then move in. Or stop moaning and wait for rain.

Carolyn Payne: Take extra care of your garden pets like bunnies and guinea pigs if it's getting into your garden. We moved into a new estate and our bunnies suffered terrible with the dust. Eye infections and breathing problems.

Anthony Richardson:

Dust is the least of their problems.

Ton Taylor:

Top and bottom is the locals didn’t want this site built in the first place, dust is just an excuse.

Dee Leng: That's what happens when you live on a live site.

John Harvey: Wait till the dust from the Sahara desert blows in. Due in a few month.

David Patterson:

How dramatic, dust is destroying their lives at best it would be a inconvenience, people are so soft these days.

Si Telford: Wait to see the dust when they start falling down over the poor builds.

Laura Jane: Well in my village they have just started work on building 285 homes and the dust is terrible a lady that lives directly onto the back of the site was rushed to hospital and had loads of dust on her lungs.

Mary McMillan: At least they are building new homes.

Glenda Hall: It isn't just the dust The flooding caused by the removal of trees has ensured that the rain causes the maximum amount of mud to be spread from the Oaks along Silksworth Lane and into Doxford Park.
