Tower block demolition signals Leeds regeneration…

Fall of seven tower blocks will herald regeneration of Leeds’ inner city.

The demolition of seven prominent tower blocks in two inner city Leeds neighbourhoods could mark the start of one of the city’s largest housing regeneration schemes, if approval is given by Leeds City Council Executive Board on December 9.

The tower blocks occupy land that will be developed as part of the Little London and Beeston Hill & Holbeck Private Finance Initiative (PFI) housing project.

The proposal to start the demolition process applies to Holbeck Towers, Gaitskell Court and Grange in Holbeck as well as multi-storey blocks and selected maisonette properties at Carlton Gate in Little London.
