 The council voted for a total redevelopment of the estate on 4 December 2006, and rehousing of tenants began in early 2007, with a view to completing the rehousing within 18 months and demolition work starting before the end of 2008.Empty properties on the estate were regularly targeted by vandals and arsonists, as were a number of vehicles parked in the area.However, six families remained on the estate by January 2009 and the last tenant did not leave until May 2009, a month after demolition work started.
