More of this please! It’s just as important to repurpose existing housing stock where possible as it is to build new, particularly when they are almost all affordable housing.
It wasn’t a ghost town when I lived there in 2010. It was full of working families employed by the hospital. Nurses, porters, admin workers and even psychologists lived there.
The housing was dated and needed modernizing for sure but it was still perfectly fine. Sad to see what happened to it. Especially sad considering it is such a great central location. You’d have thought they would have had no problem getting private investment to renovate those properties.
Derelict housing stock in the heart of a major UK city is just unacceptable. If it had been privately owned you have to wonder if that would have been allowed to happen.
> The cost of the regeneration scheme will be covered using money from Right to Buy receipts along with some borrowing, the city council said, the costs of which will in turn be paid back by rental income from the new council homes.
Everyone benefits and the council aren’t putting themselves into financially unsustainable position. More of this kind of development and financing please.
