Residents of the Scotchfields neighborhood in Midway voiced their concerns during a recent government meeting, urging local officials to hold developers accountable for unmet promises regarding community amenities and landscaping. Multiple homeowners expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of their neighborhood, highlighting issues such as inadequate landscaping, incomplete recreational facilities, and poor quality of construction.

One resident emphasized the importance of bonding money to ensure developers fulfill their commitments, stating, \"I don't know how we're supposed to hold developers accountable if we don't bond.\" This sentiment was echoed by others who noted that the promised amenities, including sports courts and a pavilion, have not been delivered as outlined in their purchase agreements.

Jennifer Barnes, another resident, shared her experience of advocating for proper landscaping in her yard, illustrating the ongoing struggle residents face in ensuring their community meets the standards they were promised. \"We're just asking for it to be done right,\" she stated, referring to the discrepancies between the initial plans and the current state of the neighborhood.

The discussion also touched on broader community values, with residents expressing a desire to maintain the character of Midway as it grows. Marie Dalglish, a local advocate, urged the council to preserve open spaces and the historical essence of the area, emphasizing the importance of community identity.

In response to the residents' concerns, council members acknowledged the challenges posed by the developers and the role of the Homeowners Association (HOA) in representing community interests. They encouraged residents to engage with their HOA to address these issues collectively.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from local officials to investigate the residents' concerns further and to ensure that the developers are held accountable for their commitments to the community.
