[Over 300 residents from the affected streets and the wider community signed a petition against demolition, which was supported by a detailed report from residents of Poland Street, Holland Street and Lower Antley Street.
Instead of demolition, the report suggested offering grants to renovate the homes which it described as structurally sound.]

If the houses are structurally sound why demolish them. All could be refurbished at a fraction of the cost of demolish and rebuild.............or is it just someone's "grand plan"
