A £500,000 project to update and improve terraced housing helped to breathe new life into a Stoke-on-Trent community. Regeneration Minister Jeff Rooker visited Etruria in November 2004 to meet people who have benefited from the improvements made possible by RENEW North Staffordshire. In the first housing project to be completed by Renew, 46 homes in Cavour Street, Etruscan Street and Etruria Old Road were given a facelift, including new roofs, windows, doors and boundary walls.
