It's set to be demolished
A rundown and virtually empty Leeds housing estate is likely to be demolished, rather than refurbished, the city council has suggested.
Leeds City Council has now bought 79 of the 88 flats spread across the estate’s eight medium-rise blocks. A report published last week said the local authority could use special powers to force through takeovers of the remaining nine, with negotiations with those owners having stalled.The council needs ownership of the whole site to be able to crack on with modernising it. Senior councillors discussed the project at an executive board meeting on Wednesday.
He told the meeting: “Given the nature of the properties and the significant state of repair , while we’ve not come forward with a definitive proposition at this point in time, I think our preferred approach would be based around demolition and newbuilds.”
