Left in limbo for years, people living on the edge of the Etihad Stadium say their estate now looks 'embarrassing'. Many homes off Grey Mare Lane in Beswick have been done up over the last 18 months, but some residents are still waiting to find out if the work they were promised will actually go ahead.
And now plans to demolish some of the estate to make way for new housing have gone back to the drawing board with uncertainty over who will complete the long-awaited redevelopment project. It comes as housing association One Manchester is deemed 'not up to the task' of delivering the scheme in full.
Manchester council has stepped in to save the scheme which has left the estate looking like a 'jigsaw puzzle' after work to retrofit privately-owned properties did not go ahead as promised. But homeowners are still unsure if they will qualify for funding to improve energy efficiency in their properties.
