Are we being Shafted

Concerned | 18.01.2004 22:30 | Social Struggles | Liverpool

They are Knocking down our houses and are going to build houses that we can't afford to rent, so where are they going to put us.

Here on the Klondyke which is a small housing estate in the Bootle area of bootle, they are starting what they call Regeneration. They will be pulling down our homes and building new one's, but the problem is that the ones that they are going to build will be out of our range regarding the rent payments. Another thing that is most annoying to put it lightly, is that they are going to build a large number of Private houses on the vacant land which is very close to us, and the homeowners here will not be able to afford the prices they are going to be aske to pay. As said before, we the poor rented tenents are going to get the shitty end of the stick.
They cannot build 800 houses to re-house the people who live here, so where will we be sent too.
Remember Skelmeresdale when they sent all those Scousers up there for a new life to get rid of them so that they could build private houses on their land, its like Beriut there now.

Are they going to do the same to us ???????????.

We need a bit of help from you good folk out there who have gone through the same thing and we need your advice on the best way forward.
