Demolition of the Highways tower blocks and maisonettes in Killingbeck has begun this week, marking the first step towards the development of new social housing on the site.
The flats and maisonettes are now vacant allowing for the demolition work to start. Connell Brothers Ltd have been appointed to carry out the demolition programme and are expected to remain on site until May 2024. . Utilising high reach demolition equipment, the contractors will remove each floor of the tower blocks until the buildings are low enough for demolition by traditional excavators.Extensive measures have been put in place by the contractors and council to ensure that any disruption will be minimised for local residents.
Having explored all options for the 132 homes currently located on the site the council concluded that the two tower blocks and attached maisonettes should be replaced due to the current housing stock on site exceeding its design life and refurbishment of the homes to the required standard was not possible.
