The latest results of the Housing Needs survey for the Lawson Estate are now available
The initial findings, based on a third of the estate’s tenants, show that:
- A huge majority of tenants support the building of new council-rent homes on the estate (89%)
- More than half of tenants feel they need to move to a new home (60%) – primarily due to overcrowding or for health reasons
- Much fewer residents would be prepared to move to smaller homes than other Leathermarket estates (4%)
