The latest demolish list of houses July 20th 2005

Here are some photos - taken today the 20th of July - that the latest plan from the local authority has being demolished in their so-called "Housing Market Renewal Initiative.

According to their "Director of Regeneration" in a document submitted to Wirral Council's Housing and Community Safety Select Ctte, these houses were amongst the worst of 119 houses most of which they had previously described as "unfit for human habitation" having failed to meet the 1985 Housing Act conditions.

First the odd numbers in the range of 1 to 17 Seymour Street that I live on. This street and row of houses has some privately owned and well looked after and others that are not well looked after. Most of the ones that are not well looked after are rented from smaller private landlords.



62% of properties in this area are privately owned with the rest mainly owned by private landlords rather than by housing associations as in other parts of Wirral.


And now some from Thompson Street. These lovely big houses have south facing gardens, some are three storey and they have owners who are justifiably proud of their homes.
