Government announced it was cancelling project to widen part of the A1 in Northumberland .

National Highways had spent more than 4 m on the purchase of houses and land in the way of the scheme.

Affected families said they had "been through hell" as their properties were "left to rot" unnecessarily.

All three families say they do not wish to go back to homes which have been empty for several years .

Martin Beal said his former home was "full of damp and falling apart" He now has permission to build a new farmhouse nearby but because it is a direct replacement for Charlton Mires , planning arrangements mean the original farmhouse has to be demolished.
