Coalville Residents' Association chairman Ernie Clarke and Neil Walker, from Compendium Housing, pictured in March 2008 against a backdrop of new homes being built on the estate which only five years previously had been blighted with poor quality housing and high numbers of vacant properties. Coalville is being transformed under the £55 million Weston Heights regeneration scheme. This involves the demolition of 254 of the old homes, which are being replaced with nearly 300 new homes for outright sale, shared ownership and rent.
