There's a lot of boarded up, vacancies there and they are part of Phoenix 2 as stated. However things are going to get worse, landlords have been buying aggresively in the area recently from all over the country - which perversly forces up prices. However the Council is bulldozing upto the landlords property - which it legally can do - and letting the market take over after that backed up with a CPO based on the current market value [obviously not as good once the bulldozers have visited]. Its a battle between landlords and speculators and the Council trying to protect public money. HBC s policy has been much firmed up since Blackburn w Darwen offered sound legal and policy advice.
