Young families who moved to a luxury new-build estate in hope of sending their children to schools within walking distance are furious after learning they are not set to open for at least another five years.
New property owners who splashed out up to £515,000 on their 'dream home' last summer told MailOnline they are now facing a 'nightmare' after discovering schools promised by developers' have not even begun construction.
In flashy online adverts and a sparkling brochure, Bovis Homes' advertised plans to have 'schooling for all ages, including two primary schools, a secondary school and two nurseries' on the Whiteley Meadows estate in Hampshire - catching the eye of many expecting and young parents.
