Hundreds Face Rehousing In Netherton

The demolition of four high rise flats will "decimate" the Netherton community, a distressed resident has claimed.

Hundreds of people face being rehoused as Dudley Council plans to pull down Arley, Wells, Compton and Manor Courts.

The proposals, which were backed by the council's cabinet at a meeting on Wednesday, follow a review of the council's housing stock.

To bring the blocks up to scratch, the authority would need to spend around £9.1million compared to the £3million it would cost to demolish the buildings and compensating tenants and leaseholders.
