Had to post this. Anyone watch the Trevor McDonald programme to-night straight after Cori st. The task to refurbish a terraced house in Liverpool on a budget of £18,000 which was the cost of demolishing it later in the year. The results of the refurbishment carried out in 4 weeks was stunning to say the least, the project went a little over budget and finished at £24,3++. I think the whole programme should be burnt to CD and copies sent to all councils that are planning to demolish terraced houses, saying "think again before you act" The show presenter visited the housing minister with photos of the refurbished property, the reply was oh we have asked local authorities to look at refurbishment before demolishing property.

Don't think HBC have been informed of that fact.
