Seven tower blocks stand proud and tall over Rochdale. Minutes away from the town centre, the 'Seven Sisters' were a feat of engineering when completed in the 1960s.
However, campaigners and residents say the estate, officially known as College Bank, has been in a state of 'managed decline' since Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) took control of the council's housing stock in 2012, despite RBH saying they are investing £20m on improvement works across the estate.
Six years ago plans were announced to demolish four of the blocks at Seven Sisters, and this year residents were offered more than £7,000 from RBH to move.
