BURNT-down homes on Woodland Drive will not be replaced for the time being, it has been revealed.
At yesterday’s full council meeting, a question by Coun Peter Fielding, who represents the Dodworth ward, raised the question of replacing the council houses on the street.
The fire, in Kingstone, began at 3.40pm on July 19 and destroyed four homes with two more badly damaged.
It was confirmed by Coun Robert Frost that no decisions have been made as of yet.
He said: “For the time being, we will be grassing over and gating the site.
“We want to engage and consult the community on the use.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
