While our traditional housing, which is in great demand, and provides excellent value for money in terms of flexibility and square footage, has been termed 'obsolete' by the council's HMRI (Housing Market Renewal Initiative) team. It is an absolute joke.
The hideous council high-rise blocks that were built all over the city during the 50s and 60swerediscredited years ago and the majority have been demolished. Some did survive the bulldozers and are still blighting the cityscape. One such block is Heysmoor Heights on Sefton Park Road. Recently it was cleared of tenants and has been sold to a developer.
