Demolition of the Highways tower blocks and maisonettes in Killingbeck has begun this week, marking the first step towards the development of new social housing on the site.
The flats and maisonettes are now vacant allowing for the demolition work to start. Connell Brothers Ltd have been appointed to carry out the demolition programme and are expected to remain on site until May 2024.
Demolition will take place on site during the set hours of 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am to 1pm on Saturday. Utilising high reach demolition equipment, the contractors will remove each floor of the tower blocks until the buildings are low enough for demolition by traditional excavators.
