A friend of mine lives on Hudson Street, all the houses up there are waiting to be pulled down, he and the others are waiting for a moving out payment, most of the houses are boarded up now

It is really sad, it was once, a very pleasant place to live.
My Mum still lives in that area.

Thats a first.:hehetable

Where do they want to move them to flashy or is it up to each individual to get their own home? Are they rented or private and what is going to happen to the area when it is demolished, not another camping ground for the travelers I hope.

Its a disgrace. I live there and can't wait for something to happen about it. There are so many yobs hanging around causing destruction. Surely it would cost less to pull the houses down than to pay for the amount of time the emergency services have to spend putting fires out. To my knowledge, half of hudson street is getting pulled down and Royds street where the houses are boarded up. Clement street is getting pulled down too. Or is it?? Another rumour is that someone is buying the lot up and doing them up

There are a few stubborn landlords that the council are haggling with to buy up the remaining houses

slum landlords:eek: this would stun anybody cashy:) ive just shown some mates this picture and they didnt think anywhere in britain like this existed anymore.is there any money to pull these down or has the condem goverment stopped the cash

re: Woodnook Improvement Scheme 2012 With Photos
 

My mates is private rented, as Fra has just said, he is waiting for the haggling to stop, they are getting around 4 thousand per house to move out (might be 6, can't remember exactly what he said) i don't think they have plans to put the residents in any particular place, they have to find their own.....well i know he is looking at different places anyway

OMG amazing photo though

re: Woodnook Improvement Scheme 2012 With Photos
 

I lived on Hudson Street 70's early 80's and can't think of anyone who rented in those days..the photo of the area as it is now made me gasp.. ok it's many years since I was there but how on earth can it have got so bad?... the homes are not council house stock but how can any council in the country allow an area of it's town become totally run down and to be blunt a complete slum?
edit: South Street still looks half decent.. but has been said god help the people that are living there.. the whole area is a disgrace to Hyndburn Council!

re: Woodnook Improvement Scheme 2012 With Photos

This photo is a gem and wants sending off to the newspapers!!!!
