Local housing bosses may use “last resort” special powers to force through a redevelopment of a rundown east Leeds estate.
The eight medium-rise blocks on Kingsdale Court, on Boggart Hill Road in Seacroft, are in a grim state of decay, with the site having been worn out by years of vandalism, crime and fly-tipping.
Over the last two years, Leeds City Council has bought up 79 of the 88 flats on the estate and purchased the land around the blocks from private ownership, as part of their efforts to regenerate the area.
