Save Summerhouse way flats

I understand the need for more social housing, but is this cannot be the best way to go about it, demolishing homes where people are happy to live.

Unless the current residents have cast iron guarantees that they can return to better accommodation at the same rent this is a very shabby way to treat people with roots in the area.

Piss off with your brown envelopes and contracts for the boys, these are people's homes.

developers and heads of councils - hand in glove- how dare they take homes from resident tenants.

As a Summerhouse Way resident I see no reason why these flats need to be demolished and rebuilt. They are in serviceable condition. This is just another money making scheme by another greedy company.

should never happen

I think if thrive are adament they want to redevelope the flats the current residents should have 1st refusal on new flats at existing rent for their lifetime.

Shocked that peoples homes can be taken away and no reasurrance as to where they will live... Also the cost of the rent is disgusting, going from £500 to £900 per month. How is this affordable living and are families to find the extra £400 a month rent.... This needs stopping!

Thrive should be ashamed of themselves but yet again money before people!

Why break up such a solid community - isn't that what the government claims to want to create?

I understand the need for more housing, however in this case I feel an injustice is being made. If it were to create more than 12 homes I could understand the expense and disruption and only then if they were to guarantee the current residence could move back into the development paying their current rent. This however is just wrong.

These are lovely flats and should stay

I lived in them flats

Disgraceful I used to live in these flats

Please leave summerhouse way a sit is. These flats have been people's homes for many many years. Mostly elderly people have lived and brought their children up. Why should they have to move to make way for Sociable housing why can you not be sociable and leave them be.

Respect for the residents, let them keep there homes!!

My Nan has lived in this road for 60 years. The amount of upheaval and inconvenience this will cause is unimaginable. There are nothing wrong with the flats the way they are and they have been homes to many people for a very long time. Very unfair to destroy people's homes like this.

Not very happy with this proposal, as many residents have lived here for years, as I have all my life 56 years, at 127, we do not want this, please leave alone.

I used to live in the flats in summerhouse way 30 years ago and some of my neighbours are still living there and they were there before me! You would make a lot of happy people very unhappy!!!!!!!!
