Improvement work starts on derelict and crime ridden TikTok estate

Work has begun on a derelict estate plagued by anti-social behaviour.

Primrose Court in Huyton has faced a number of issues and has fallen victim to crime and fly tipping in recent years. People were shocked to see so many empty homes when a video of the estate was shared millions of times on TikTok at the start of 2022.

The problems first started on Primrose Court when it was built over 15 years ago. With two developers associated with the scheme going bust before construction was even completed, key parts of the street furniture, including kerbs and lighting were never installed. The road was not adopted either, which meant responsibility for its upkeep fell to the residents rather than the council.
