Last remaining resident of a derelict estate dubbed 'Britain's Chernobyl' says he won't leave | SWNS

One of the last few remaining residents of a derelict estate dubbed 'Britain's Chernobyl" says he won't leave - despite it being earmarked for demolition.
Marshal Craig, 70, still lives in Clune Park, which has been virtually empty for years and looks like something from a post-apocalyptic film.
Built in 1905 it is made up of 430 flats in rotting tenement buildings as well as a rundown church - all covered in graffiti and litter.

Where my father was born. So sad to see it like this.

Need to feel for the guy. Probably stayed there most of his days with fond memories of the place as it wasn't always a shithole. I bet like he said, if the flats were renovated again it would be great for social housing at least. The buildings are clearly bomb proof, they have been left to rot for years and you'd think you'd start to see major decay but the buildings are absolutely sound. Even the roofs are in good nick!

The only problem is that if they did it up and made social housing all they’d do is put all the rejects that don’t appreciate it into it and the place would be a disaster all over again. This has the potential to be absolutely something of a fix for the housing crisis I totally agree, however the riff raff that’d end up there would make it a waste. Should do it up and select certain residents for housing there, people that just need a good solid home! Would rejuvenate the community, re open the school the shop create jobs and whatnot!

The sandstone buildings need to be restored

It's social housing that does this to estates and then they lie to the papers and say its private landlords. There is a over a million abandoned properties owned by social housing across the uk and just a couple hundred thousand private. They use printed money paid by our tax to buy landlords out then they run the areas down and 1 by 1 bully landlords out and private home owners. This drives up rents due to 1 inflation via printing money and 2 artificially playing with supply which increases demand for housing a common feature in history during periods of inflation like Austria in the 20s which was in a population decline and printing money yet had a housing crisis. Social housing is the problem not the cure.

There is more than 1 person there i drove round the place last summer

Where is this? There is a man in Stanhope Place in Wishaw. He is the only person in the building and North Lanarkshire Council is demolishing the building around him. Perhaps these two men can get together and contact their respective MP’s for help. 🙏🏻
