The detailed discussions the company I worked for had with the council was that it was not a requirement the buildings had to come down, it was a suggested option. They are fit for nothing else other than to come down with the exception of the games hall which is in a more than serviceable state.

However, there was zero willingness to assist in this process from the council so I have a feeling that the property management side of the council is not talking to whatever other party in the council it is supposed to. Not only were these discussions in writing over several months but also during 3 detailed on site viewings which I accompanied two of, where there were also a great deal of questions asked and answered at the time.

The buildings to come down are the big drawback with that site. Either way I hope something is done with it soon as it looks shocking left in its current state, especially for all of the residents who live beside it.
