Tower Blocks

Friday 23rd October

I have had several enquiries over the last few days about the demolition of some tower blocks on Druids Heath, these rumours aren't true.

There has been some discussion about this in the past, when Labour was the ruling group on the council. The first time was when the Council was looking at doing a stock transfer of the council houses, but this was rejected by the residents.

The second was when the Tennant Management Organisation (TMO) for Druids Heath was in existence - while they were looking at developing the estate there was some discussion about pulling down some tower blocks. This never got off the ground as the TMO were only responsible for the repair of council houses, not building new houses.
