Leek Road (2006)

Numbers 449 to 473 Leek Road being demolished in February 2006

This picture was taken in February 2006. It shows homes located within the new City Waterside neighbourhood and includes properties covered by the Westmill Street Housing Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). In the foreground are numbers 449 to 473 Leek Road being demolished.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
