Project Lame Duck

I spent my first 5 years in a terraced house and even after we left my grandparents stayed in one. I have happy memories of these kind of houses especially running up and down the coytes. Its a shame to see them go.
 
They aren't all going Spuggie. A lot of us still live in one. I wonder if the houses they build today will last as long.

Our house was built in 1908. It is still totally structurally sound, and will last for a very long time to come. Those horrible houses in Church were built very recently in comparison, and they are now coming down. You are absolutely right, Willow - the old terraced houses were built to last, and all they need is some refurbishment. These are people's homes we are talking about, homes they have worked for and cherised over many years, and often struggled to pay for. It's a poor payback, even at £30,000 you don't have to pay back. As for £30,000 you have to pay back, for a house you own, it is nothing less than theft.

I think we should all protest at this. If we don't, what happens when they want OUR houses on some spurious grounds?

Not a chance. Nowadays they are thrown up faster than a teenagers Friday night booze. Eventually they will try and get rid of more on the same grounds and the only ones that wont profit are the people in them. :(
