It is all too well that the area needs some work but how can it be that people are going to be losing their homes for the benefit of 'new businesses?' In about 2 years time, they have been told that building work will begin and as well as the immigrant population that now needs housing, there will be people who worked so hard all their lives for this country now being made homeless. People have mortgages.. What about those? Their home is their pride and joy! Some people have invested in their homes, adding new bathrooms, kitchens and redecorated too.. What will happen to them? Are they to just leave because the new redevelopment plans don't include them? I would actually like to know, speaking on their behalf.
