Seven Sisters tower block residents offered £7,000 to move out

Residents in the iconic Seven Sisters tower blocks will be paid in excess of £7,000 if they permanently relocate their flats, according to a letter from the company which manages them.

The letter, from Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), says residents who move to another RBH home — or another private house — can expect a £7,100 ‘homeloss payment’ from the firm, plus help towards moving costs.

The firm says it’s taking the step to ensure there are enough homes across the College Bank complex when refurbishment gets underway.
