The Great British Build-off

[Nwgs2]

Older houses were rushed up in a day, too; especially inter-war houses. All sorts o' sins were buried under the floorboards on a Friday afternoon. Building techniques and materials have improved but builders are still the same...apart from noseall, obviously.

What’s your point ?

Not really, councils/HAs could never build in bulk anyway, but they could add to the social stock in a limited way.

Exactly, CPO empty houses and bring them up to date.

I see it happening locally and it’s making a bit of a difference to the local areas.

We have a bit of land near my area, it was cleared, boards up advertising the development and what looks like main sewage pipes etc delivered to site.

That was a few years back. Nothing more since then.
