ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE IN LONDON TO DECIDE FATE OF HOMES IN BENSHAM AND SALTWELL on Wednesday 12th, February 2014:
After 8 years of fighting the now discredited Pathfinder scheme Saltwell and Bensham Residents Association hope that lawyers acting for SAVE ENGLISH HERITAGE will succeed in halting the next phase of demolition.
Whilst other Labour Councils have halted demolition of homes since the Tory Government pulled the plug on the money, Gateshead says it still has enough in the kitty to continue?
Local residents want the houses renovated and THE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION think that homesteading is the answer. Homesteading is buying a derelict house for a nominal sum and doing it up yourself.David Ireland of the Empty Homes Agency has arrangements with a bank for purchasers to have access to funds.
