Thanks to Pamela Bilalova and BBC News Online for the Headline.
This story is from Newcastle where tenants of garages have been sent letters saying that their garages are not considered by the Council to be used to full capacity and some are in a very poor condition and a survey had recommended demolition.
The said garages have now had a notice put on them to say that the garage demolition will begin in January. This is despite the leader of the Council saying that “No final proposals have been developed for the site, and no decisions have been made.”
The garage tenants have already received a letter saying that the site would be redeveloped for much needed “social housing” and that the local authority would seek to identify alternative garages but could not guarantee to provide them.
The tenants, who need and use the garages , say that their removal will cause further congestion in their surrounding streets and additional social housing squashed into the location where the garages are currently will add more requirements for access and parking.
Why the disparity between what the Council are saying and what they are doing? If garages were part of the tenants agreement , how suddenly are you supposed to live without a garage?
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
