Work to demolish 51 blocks of empty council houses on Tannahill Road in Paisley, Scotland, is underway after years of neglect and fly-tipping turned the once-proud neighborhood into a dumping ground. Residents have shared emotional farewells to their former homes as demolition crews move into the Ferguslie Park area.
Work to demolish houses on 'Britain's most fly-tipped street' will get underway in the coming days as residents bid emotional farewells to their former homes.
The project to bulldoze 51 blocks of empty council houses will begin next month, after Renfrewshire Council approved a £630,000 contract last Thursday. It is expected to last a year. Ms McDonald told The Scotsman: "I just feel really sad. It has still got the same furniture, the same front door. The wallpaper was the wallpaper my mammy put up. When I went upstairs it brought back hundreds of memories, I was so sad. I cannot believe I got in. I am so happy that I got in."
"Certainly when I grew up in the 1980s and the 1990s, this was the most highly sought area of the community. Properties were seen as the height of local aspiration if you like. The Paisley provost lived in the area."
