accrington needs areas revitalising but sadly all that gets revitalised are teh same areas over and over again
the same houses down blackburn road have been revitalised on at least 2 occasions over the past 10 years, maybe its time to put money in other areas where teh work done will be appreciated and looked after more
also clamping down on landlords who let their properties fall into eyesores
hyndburn homes has a lot to answer for if you ask me, they took on houses from HBC and have done basicly sod all to improve areas and their properties
if you go up rothwell avenue hyndburn homes bought half the houses and saint vincents bought the other half
saint vincents houses have new secure fencing ,outside walls painted ,they were repaired before anyone was allowed to move in while its the total oppposite with Hynburn homes who rent out houses not fit to put a rat in yet alone a human
the only chance you stand of getting a decent home with Hyndburn homes is if you are lucky enough to get a house that has had good tennants in it previously and have carried out repairs themselves
hynburn homes dont do repairs they do temporary fixes and not only have i rented one of their cess pits but know people who have had to put up with walls black with damp , always going without hot water and having to put up with temporary fixes because they wont replace the boiler and have wall paper falling off the walls because roof repairs arnt carried out but rather a bit off goo in the hole to try and stop the leak
as of yet i dont think countour housing A.K.A hydburn homes have followed through on 1 single term of their contract which allowed them to buy these properties and if they have and actually done a good job of it then its a bloomin miracle but they need to do more
