BRITAIN is covered in "ghost" housing estates filled with eyesores from seafront apartments to abandoned newbuild streets and war zone flats. <\/p>\n

Eerie sites in all parts of the country from Kent to Leicester and as far north as Sunderland are being taken over by fly-tippers and drugs abusers after plans were forgotten about. <\/p>\n

In most cases, estates have been abandoned when construction companies go bust and the work can no longer be carried out.<\/p>\n

And now plots, some of which have fully built homes, are lifeless with no one ever having moved in.<\/p>\n

That was until they became home to thugs who love to vandal buildings, drug abusers, louts and in some cases animals.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ghost towns in the UK:<\/p>\n

St Mary's Bay, Kent<\/h2>\n

The crumbling \u00a320m housing estate in The Sands,\u00a0Kent, has become a home for animals after plans for 59 houses and 26 apartments were approved in 2016 before quickly being forgotten about.<\/p>\n

Contractors abandoned the 85 homes in Dymchurch Road after a national shortage of plasterboard delayed the launch.<\/p>\n

Neighbours\u00a0said works continued on the site but came to a halt in early 2022 – with building materials hanging around the plot.<\/p>\n

Compass Builders Ltd then fell into administration earlier this year and the development was left in ruins ever since.<\/p>\n

Bob\u00a0Thomson, who lives a few doors down from the estate, said the building used to have security guards to avoid intruders.<\/p>\n

And residents are now begging the council to demolish the\u00a0building.<\/p>\n

John Underwood, who lives in nearby Jefferstone Lane, said: "It's a disgrace – I've only lived here for a year, but it has been like that the whole time I've been here.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs to be knocked down for something for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not been updated or told anything, so we have all just been going off rumours."<\/p>\n

Hospital Close, Leicester<\/h2>\n

Locals living near to Hospital Close in the East Mids have been forced to face piles of rubbish and drug dealers using it as a meeting point ever since old tenants were kicked out in 2019.<\/p>\n

The plot has been abandoned and neglected since.<\/p>\n

What was once a bustling area for hospital workers and their families has since been ditched after Leicester's NHS trust could no longer afford to maintain or upgrade the properties. <\/p>\n

Eviction notices were then issued before the estate became a hotspot for antisocial behaviour. <\/p>\n

Ashley Lewis, 32, who lives nearby, said: "It's quite spooky to be honest, it's a complete ghost town now. <\/p>\n

"It used to be a thriving little community of NHS staff and their families."<\/p>\n

Gildas Avenue, Birmingham<\/h2>\n

Homeowners near Gildas Avenue, in Birmingham, say the street has become a hub for crimes.<\/p>\n

Vandals graffiti houses that are no longer lived in as well as smashing in their windows.<\/p>\n

Overgrown gardens make it hard to see properties with others having silver metal boards across any possible entrance. <\/p>\n

Resident Kathleen Witheridge previously told\u00a0The Birmingham Mail: "It looks really horrible. <\/p>\n

"It's like a war zone with all of the rubbish and graffiti everywhere. I don't feel comfortable here."<\/p>\n

Neighbour Michelle Mulhall added: "I think it's disgusting how the council have left residents. <\/p>\n
