Hello
Last October Rochdale declared a housing emergency. At the time almost 10,000 households were on the waiting list for social housing.
Yet on a landmark estate in the centre of town almost 400 flats stand empty. In fact the occupants were paid to leave.
What exactly is going on with the Seven Sisters? Here Stephen Topping and Tom George attempt to answer a question that, as one tenant put it, has been hanging over the estate like the ‘sword of Damocles’.
Four of the Seven Sisters tower blocks were first earmarked for demolition in 2016, with landlord Rochdale Boroughwide Housing later announcing plans they would make way for 120 new homes. Campaigners and councillors spent years challenging the project - while thousands were spent by RBH paying people to leave.
But in a new era for RBH, ushered in with the landlord facing mounting pressure following the death of Awaab Ishak, priorities for the estate switched. The M.E.N revealed last June that the tower blocks could be saved from the bulldozer, before RBH said all 700 apartments could be brought back into use.
Yet 12 months on, the tenants who remain are still stuck in limbo, surrounded by hundreds of empty homes. “We don't know what is happening and until they say they've got the funding in place, there's still the possibility of the demolition of these buildings,” tenant and campaigner Mark Slater said.
“That's the worst case scenario and I don't think anybody wants to talk about that. We've had the sword of Damocles hanging over us since 2017 when they suggested this. Until there's a definitive decision, we are in the same place."
