I sympathize with the residents of Gresham. I do however think that the demolition of this area can only be of benefit.I come from the old Cannon street area and gladly that dissappeared years ago. It is time to move on for the sake of our children and grand children and leave something better than terraced housing.

I have no comment for the moment but a question: please could someone get me an answer. what is the historical profile of that area?

We are at present researching my husband's family tree and his maternal grandmother (Etta Dye)was born at 20 Fleetham Street. We have just found out this information and now find that the council intends to knock these houses down. We have not been to Middlesbrough in years (born in Barnard Castle) but intend to come across and visit the area and perhaps take some photos of the house before it disappears. It seems a crying shame that people who have lived there all their lives should have to move against their will. The same thing happened in Barrow in Furness last year. Loads of streets were knocked down but one family refused to move and live in splendid isolation in the middle of a building site. The council left up their house plus the house on each side but all the rest disappeared!

how do people who have very little and have lived there for a long time and like living close to the town centre going to get recompenced with an amount which they could afford a new house when they are only offered 拢70000 average house price is possible 拢120000. Council estates are being flattened, after being run down by the council. When are the council and mayor going to be honest?
Frank Bolton
Middlesbrough cannot continue to grow if these horrible areas very close to the city centre are not replaced with modern sustainable communities. The streets in question should be flattened for the greater good of the town as a whole and the council should not let the views of a few disgruntled residents derail what is essentially the best thing to happen to the town in years.
