A Yorkshire council has approved £12m for the demolition and rebuilding of a retirement living complex riddled with asbestos.
Last December, a Kirklees Council report revealed Sycamore Grange posed a “significant health and safety risk to the people living there”, and cabinet decided residents would be moved out. Asbestos insulating board was still being used in the communal corridors and lounge and legionella samples were found in the pipework. Tenants have been moving out since January and are entitled to just over £8k as compensation for losing their homes.
When complete, there will be 41 apartments – the majority of which will be one-bedroom, nine one-bedroom bungalows, five two-bedroom bungalows and four one-bedroom cottage flats. The bungalows and cottage flats will be available for older people. The council says that these properties will better suit their needs and will also free up space for other Kirklees families.
