72 Deans Road

Action demanded on dilapidated house

East Park campaigner Darren Friel says that a house in Deans Road, has been unoccupied for almost 8 years.It is overgrown, dilapidated and a Ânightmare for neighbours, the police and the fire service. The problem was discussed at the Council's ÂResources Panel back in September 2006 - yet still nothing has happened. Darren said,"Three bed roomed houses are hard to come by in this area and action is essential immediately. The Council must permit no further delay. Unfortunately, the £10m Âregeneration of East Park includes two bedroom properties only, and larger families are having to look further afield for their housing needs. This could see pupil numbers fall in our schools,which would impact on our local shops and Âamenities. Our three Labour councillors are clearly not interested."
