A meeting was held this month by North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale to speak with Sunningdale residents who had worries with their houses or estates.
The gathering at St Nicholas at Wade village hall was attended by around 100 people.
Sir Roger was told of issues, from completing site roads and lighting, to individual household defects.
Sir Roger promised to link up with MPs Natalie Elphick and Damian Collins who also have estate problems in their constituencies.
One resident said during the meeting it was noted that if Sunningdale financial problems prove to be ongoing, public funds could be at risk with the substantial number of affordable rent and shared ownership housing owned by housing associations on Sunningdale-built estates.
