Pathfinder bosses now want guidance on Demolition

After a number of years demolishing thousands of homes in the north the leaders of the 9 Pathfinder areas want to know if demolition is legal.

This rather vital question should have been perhaps before the non-democratic government agencies started their bulldozer blitzkrieg across the north.

According to Inside Housing the pathfinders are confused as to whether a home should be demolished or refurbished. Now they are to ask building professionals to help!

Mike Gahagan, chair of Transform South Yorkshire, said: 'There have been quite a lot of questions around whether houses should be demolished or refurbished. [At the moment] everybody does it their own way."

In Newcastle and Gateshead some 1,800 homes have been demolished. Now we know there was no rational basis for this policy and local Pathfinders were making it up as they went along.

So to all the families turned out of perfectly good property on Tyneside who asked why? We now have the answer - no one knows not even people implementing the policy. Just marvelous!
