It speaks for itself that a City planning to reduce the climate foot print/GHG emissions by some 55% within 6 years is still demolishing existing structures instead of renovating them for a fraction of the climate damage.

That proclaimed new 'social housing' is benefiting the 1% of society who are making profits and will be occupied by the existing social renters who are shifted from one house to the next since their neglected old houses are falling apart - making room for more profit.

Always follow the money.

Hi,

directly effected by the demolition plans at Noonan Rd. I have to say that regeneration of the flats was due some 30 years ago.ALL responsible councilors have failed in this task, have proven their utterly incompetence on the issue.

Some of the buildings are life threatening since decades,loose roof parts like for example metal sheeting some 5 meters long hanging on a single nail 10 meters above the footpath do not attract attention from no one.

Load bearing walls are bulging outwards,are by no means safe for by-passers and inhabitants. Blocked sewers running sewage of foot paths - since decades!Were never designed from the very building of the houses to function in a hygienic way.

The steel reinforcement of the concrete stairs could have been saved/repaired for IRP 50.- some 30 years ago,now the stairs need to be replaced for some € 10 to 20,000 .- each.

The people of Noonan Road have complained to their councillors since decades.And nothing structural was done.ALL responsible councilors have been a failure concerning Noonan Rd.
